10/65: Self-Mutilation
Kren’s 10/65 Selfmutilation is developed from a Gunter Brus “action”. What the film emphasizes is the surrealistic drama of symbolic self-destruction that Kren drew out of Brus’ action, pacing out each gesture so that one gets a tense, iconoclastic revelation of a man covered in white plaster lying surrounded by razor blades and a range of instruments looking as if they have been taken from an operating theatre. The blades, scissors and scalpels are gradually inserted into him in a ritualistic self-operation. (Stephen Dwoskin)

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Kurt Kren constructs the film as an anatomy of gesture, exploring the limits of the body and the boundaries of performance. The editing relies on a precise rhythm, transforming a shocking act into a meditative, almost abstract ritual.
What lingers after viewing is not a story, but a pure, unsettling vibration where violence upon the flesh becomes a metaphor for the creative act itself. — MovieFinder Editorial

In absolute darkness, alone with the screen, when the outside world ceases to exist.
