Birth of the Flag I & II

1974 · 37 min

In this art performance turned into a film, a woman gives birth to the American flag. When this became a film, Oldenburg completely reformulated the contents of the original action and transferred the locale from an indoor swimming pool to the open countryside. The main similarity between the two versions is that water remains a dominant motif in both. With its stress on nature, the film is a far more lyrical piece than the original happening.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Birth of the Flag I & II is an acquired taste at 0.0/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A classic from 1974. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
