Totally Fucked Up (censored title Totally F***ed Up in many references and publicity material) is a 1993 film written and directed by Gregg Araki. The first installment of Araki's Teenage Apocalypse Trilogy, Totally Fucked Up is a seminal entry in the New Queer Cinema genre.

Totally Fucked Up chronicles the dysfunctional lives of six gay adolescents who have formed a family unit and struggle to get along with each other and with life in the face of various major obstacles. Araki classified it as "a rag-tag story of the fag-and-dyke teen underground....a kinda cross between avant-garde experimental cinema and a queer John Hughes flick."

Four Nights with Anna 2008 poster

"Four Nights With Anna" concerns a man wrongly convicted of a vicious rape. Leon (Artur Steranko), who has a holy fool air about him, develops an obsession - chaste, but extreme - with the rape victim, Anna (Kinga Preis). He insinuates himself into her life, sneaking into her place and doing little things on her behalf: painting her toenails, fixing a cuckoo clock, cleaning up after a birthday party to which he wasn't invited. All while she is sleeping. from imdb.com

Who's gonna tell you when,
It's too late,
Who's gonna tell you things,
Aren't so great.

You cant go on, thinkin',
Nothings' wrong...,
Who's gonna drive you home, tonight?

Who's gonna pick you up,
When You fall?
Who's gonna hang it up,
When you call?

Who's gonna pay attention,
To your dreams?
And who's gonna plug their ears,
When you scream?

You can't go on, thinkin'
Nothings wrong...,
Who's gonna drive you home, tonight?

Who's gonna hold you down,
When you shake?
Who's gonna come around,
When you break?

You can't go on, thinkin',
Nothin's wrong...,
Who's gonna drive you home, tonight?

Ho..., you know you can't go on, thinkin',
Nothin's wrong,

Stephen Frears [wiki]
Hanif Kureishi [wiki]
Kureishi's website

My Beautiful Laundrette is a 1985 film directed by Stephen Frears. The screenplay was written by Hanif Kureishi.

My Beautiful Laundrette was Frears' fifth feature film. Originally shot for television, it was later released in cinemas and eventually became his first international success. The movie features an early performance by Academy Award winner Daniel Day-Lewis in the role of Johnny. The cast also includes Saeed Jaffrey, Roshan Seth, Gordon Warnecke, Derrick Branche and Rita Wolf.

The film benefits from a widely praised original screenplay by Hanif Kureishi, which depicts London life in the Thatcher Era through the complex — and often comical relationships between members of the Asian and White community. The plot tackles many polemical issues, such as homosexuality, racism and England's economic and political policy during the 1980s.

The soundtrack was produced by Stanley Myers and Hans Zimmer, and written by Ludus Tonalis. Non-original music included the waltz Les Patineurs, by French composer Emile Waldteufel, and excerpts from Puccini's Madama Butterfly.

My Beautiful Laundrette marked the first time Oliver Stapleton was in charge of the cinematography in one of Frears' movies. He would later grow to be one of the director's most stable collaborators. This film was also one of the first films released by Working Title Films.

Marc Doudin is a Swiss creator of Ambient music. The music he creates moves between different subgenres of Ambient - there is something like drone or noise and also post-rock and piano influences are visible. The song length is mostly about 6 minutes or even more.

Marc Doudin had tried to find his artist’s personality long before he changed to act under his real name. Utspring, Snowscape and Arctic Ocean Area Forecast. While Snowscape and Arctic Ocean Area Forecast haven’t been really promissing, UTspring was very experimental and special. Utspring released three records, one of it a Split EP with Slavogorje. Experimental ambient with IDM influences.

Marc Doudin has recently presented his third album, Post Urban Moments on WiseOwlRecords.

L'école de la chair (The School of Flesh) 1998 poster

Benoît Jacquot [wiki]
Benoît Jacquot [wiki.fr]
Benoît Jacquot [interview]

The film is super sensual, in a way that Isabelle hadn't played for quite a while. Isabelle reunited with Benoît Jacquot after their first film "Les Ailes de la Colombe in 1981. The film started to shoot in Feburary, and was selected by the Cannes Film Festival almost at the last minute (three days before the competition films were announced), because Isabelle's wonderful performance moved the festival officals.

QUOTE
Benoît Jacquot
"A Child of the New Wave", by Peter Brunette & Gerald Peary Cinéaste, June 2000, at New York City
"Of ten shots of her, nine are close-ups, extreme close-ups. This movie is about sex and sexuality. It's about flesh, but it's all on the face, a paradox for me. Godard said, talking about Hitchcock, "He filmed women's faces like they were their asses." There's something so specific in film. The closer you are to faces, the closer you are to the sexual nerve. There are also one or two scenes of my couple making love. I asked myself whether to do them. I finally decided it would be very mechanical just to see their faces

She's not acting for an audience. It's not for the scenario, the script, the part. She's acting for the director she decides to work with. As an actress, she needs only a few indications-something about costumes, one or two psychological cues, and that's all. She wants to act as if she's going on the set to sleep and dream. She has a day life and shooting a film is her night life.

For The School of Flesh, we read the script together. That's all. We talked about how her character, Dominique, would be dressed, how short her hair would be. That's it. And Isabelle likes very much "A Single Girl". She asked me to do something like I'd done with Virginie Ledoyen. So the first energy of this film is similar to what I'd done before: a long shot on the face."

Benoît Jacquot
"My Friends, My Loves, My Subjects are Actresses", by Catherine Schwah Paris Match, N°2787, Oct. 24, 2002
"Huppert, one sees her like an actress who only shows her face, and below, there's nothing! However, she is nude in a great number of films! In The School of Flesh, she made love with Vincent Martinez passionately. The two had a lot of trouble doing the scene. She was in tears afterwards. I consoled her for an hour. But she made it! Filming intimacy is hard, violent."

Elephant is a 2003 crime-drama film written and directed by Gus Van Sant. It is set on the day of a massive school shooting. The film takes place a short time before the shooting occurs, following the lives of several characters both in and out of school, who are unaware of what is about to unfold. The film stars mostly new or non-professional actors, including John Robinson, Alex Frost, and Eric Deulen. This is the second movie in Gus Van Sant's Death Trilogy. The first is Gerry, and the third is Last Days; all three are based on actual events. Elephant takes place in the fictional Watt High School, in the city of Portland, Oregon, and chronicles the events surrounding a fictional school shooting, based in part on the 1999 Columbine High School massacre.

The film was generally acclaimed by critics, and received the prestigious 2003 Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. As the first high-profile movie to address high school shootings since Columbine, the film was controversial for its subject matter and possible influence on teenage copy-cats.

ON - Your Naked Ghost Comes Back At Night

2009-09-13T19:13:00.000+08:00

ON (Sylvain Chauveau and Steven Hess )

ON [Type Records]
Sylvain Chauveau [overview]

On is the unique collaboration between French composer/producer Sylvain Chauveau and Chicago-based percussionist Steven Hess (Haptic, Pan American). I say unique because the band has a rather strange way of presenting its work – the concept is simple, to record a record in the studio, and then place it in the hands of a third party. The resulting work is then ‘remixed’ (for want of a better word) and the album is complete. Maybe we will never know what ‘Your Naked Ghost Comes Back At Night’ would have sounded like in the hands of a different musician, or even totally unprocessed, but that would be defeating the point of On.

This time around the three hours of delicate source material was handled by none other than the Norwegian master of dark ambient Helge Sten aka Deathprod. Sten’s characteristic smudged ambience is evident as he submerges Chauveau and Hess’s compositions beneath a swamp of cavernous reverb and synthesized smoke. Hess’s patented percussive drones are filtered into the distant buzz of an insect’s wings, and Chauveau’s prepared guitar becomes a tectonic rumble from another continent. At times it is difficult to discern where On stops and Deathprod begins, such is the mastery of Sten’s production and the appropriateness of Chauveau and Hess’s recordings.

Like only the finest records in the dark ambient genre, ‘Your Naked Ghost Comes Back At Night’ guides you to another world for its sixty-minute duration. Haunted and trembling, these recordings (made in 2003) marked the conclusion of the Deathprod project as Helge Sten vowed never to record under the name again. It is easy to appreciate then how rare a record like this is to come across, and it is a work that should be savoured accordingly.

Hamlet [wiki]
Michael Almereyda [wiki]
Michael Almereyda [senses of cinema]
King of Infinite Space, Filmmaker Magazine, Winter 1999 interview
Fleeting Joy A website devoted to Almereyda's work.

Hamlet, also referred to as Hamlet 2000, is an American film by Michael Almereyda, released in 2000, set in contemporary New York City, and based on the Shakespeare's play of the same name. Ethan Hawke plays Hamlet as a film student, Julia Stiles co-stars as Ophelia, Laertes by Liev Schreiber, Uncle Claudius is played by Kyle MacLachlan, and Polonius by Bill Murray.

In this version of Hamlet, Claudius becomes King and CEO of "Denmark Corporation", having taken over the firm by killing his brother, Hamlet's father.

Similar to Romeo + Juliet, the film keeps the Shakespearean dialogue but presents a modern setting, with technology such as video cameras, Polaroid cameras, and surveillance bugs. For example, the ghost of Hamlet's murdered father first appears on closed-circuit TV.

The film was met with mixed reviews, including some very negative ones. While reviews praised the contemporary setting ("glossy and sterile, with sleek chrome and glass and stark black and white"), others found it boring, tacky, poorly directed, and a butchering of Shakespeare's play. "Almereyda's Hamlet is just a superficial treatment, uncomplicated and often unfathomable...". Hawke's performance is also criticised: "Hamlet, by contrast, is often unintelligible. And the worst offender, unfortunately, is Ethan Hawke," wrote Beth Armitage in popmatters. "He doesn't sound as if he comprehends much of his own speeches, and I didn't have an easy time either, especially since he mumbles his way through almost all of his lines, as if that were the only way he can signify that he's bummed out."

Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion (Italian: Indagine su un cittadino al di sopra di ogni sospetto) is a 1970 Italian film crime drama directed by Elio Petri. It is a dramatic, psychological, black-humoured satire on corruption in high office, telling the story of a top police officer who kills his lover and then tests whether the police would accuse him for this. During the movie, he is seen planting obvious clues while the other police officers ignore them, either intentionally or not.

The film was highly regarded in its own time, winning the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and both the FIPRESCI Prize and the Grand Prize at the 1970 Cannes Film Festival.[1] Also it won as Best Foreign Language Film at the Kansas City Film Critics Circle Awards 1971 and the Edgar award from the Mystery Writers of America for Best Mystery Screenplay. Today the film stands well, thanks to its intelligent composition.

Volonté performed one of his most celebrated roles as the idiosyncratic, nervous police inspector, portraying a clichéd authoritarian southern Italian police functionary.

Philip Dickau (b. 1986 in Edmonton) is a Canadian musician who has been exploring the creative potential and limitations of computer software since his teens. His first album—This City, and You—is the result of about a year-and-a-half of experimenting with the limits of Propellerheads' Reason 4.0 software. The goal with these tracks was to make electronic music that was atmospheric and affective, and to explore the possibilities of as wide a range of sound creation techniques as possible.

Sonically, the album explores the idea of sounds being processed and distorted until the line between organic and electronic becomes blurred. This process of degrading the natural harmonics of sound is reflected in the album's cover art: a decaying piano covered with debris. The album presents these sonic experiments under a structure reminiscent of western pop music—simple chord progressions and short track lengths—while referencing avant-garde compositional methods such as Reich’s phasing and Cage’s aleatoric techniques.

Inspired by the city of Edmonton, the album's narrative traces a non-linear account of the past two years of the musician’s life there, culminating in the fictionalized destruction of the city in a world-wide apocalyptic event...
