Cremaster 2 is loosely based on The Executioner's Song, by Norman Mailer, which tells the story of Gary Gilmore (played by Matthew Barney), a convicted killer put to death in 1977, who since has been famed as Harry Houdini's grandson. Filled with beautiful shots of glaciers in the Canadian Rockies and the Salt Flats of Utah, the film moves back and forth in time, from the 1893 World Fair where Gilmore's grandmother supposedly met Harry Houdini (played by Norman Mailer), to the 1970's.
