Secondary (2023): cast, story & where to watch
2023 · Film
Released in 2023, Secondary is a notable film directed by Matthew Barney.
What it’s about. Secondary maps two different narratives onto each other, using movement as the formal through-line. The first describes the complex overlay of violence and spectacle inherent in American football, and more broadly within American culture. Barney’s personal involvement in the sport served as a starting point for the development of this project. The extreme physical and psychological conditions of the game have been abstracted in Barney’s art practice since his earliest work, and now provide a context for this subject that is both retrospective and a new, direct engagement.
Who’s in it. Secondary stars Matthew Barney as Ken Stabler and Thomas Kopache as Al Davis.
