Johnny is a hyperactive, shape-shifting mutant child, kept locked away in a basement. With only his feverish imagination and his terrified dog for company, he finds ways to amuse himself in the dark.
Rubber Johnny is the latest creation from the UK?s most imaginative filmmaker, Chris Cunningham. Featuring music by legendary electronic composer, Aphex Twin, this nightmarish and hallucinatory experimental short film is accompanied by 40 pages of drawings and photographs - Cunningham?s first published book of original artwork.

The music is by Aphex Twin. Chris Cunningham did the video, as was mentioned.. he also put out a collection of his previous music videos, which he has done for numerous electronic acts like Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Bjork, etc
