Rubber Johnny is a 6 minute experimental short film and music video directed by Chris Cunningham in 2005, using music composed by Aphex Twin. The name Rubber Johnny is drawn from a British slang for “condom” as well as a description of the main character. The DVD comes with an art book, containing stills from the film, as well as conceptual drawings, photographs and more.
This must be the creepiest and weirdest video ever, except for David Lynch’s Rabbits of course. I first saw this about the time it came out and I always remembered the “hyperactive, shape-shifting mutant child”. A Cunningham and Aphex Twin combo can’t go wrong.
Also watch this surprisingly good parody and the Cunningham Portal.
