Southland Tales

I got lucky enough to be able to watch this in the USA and the DVD is now available in France... Finally!

Remember when the movie has been introduced in Cannes in may 2006... It was a catastroph, only a few enjoyed the movie. Considered as a fallen angel, the movie brought only $ 367 000 in the US while its budget was $ 17 millions.

Unfortunatly, but i can't complain either, the DVD version is 20 min shorter.
It's not easy to sum up this movie but it's kinda a new pop lecture of the St Jean Apocalypse... So it's a mix of comedy, thriller and sci-fi made like a home-movie, video clip, pub, video game, tv, internet...

The casting: The Rock, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Justin Timberlake, Sean William Scott and also Christophe Lambert is a delightful unexpected surprise.

Indeed, Southland Tales is a perfect synthesis of the Bush years! After "Donnie Darko", here's the new masterpiece of Richard Kelly.

This is the way the world ends, not with a whimper but with a bang.

Sigur Rós on a take away show !

A trip across Paris in a van. Lost drumsticks. A cafe you'd never expect to visit before the age of 60. An hour of waiting, and then, voilà--a few notes on the harmonium, a grand piano, a heavenly voice. Sigur Ros on a Take Away Show.

Brooklyn' Sound !

Telepathe - Dance Mother

I already talked about this new band from Brooklyn but now the album is out and this is a great surprise.
It is supposed to be an arty project from these 2 ladies, but obviously it is something more, let' say better.
Indeed, it's a mix of different influences: nineties dance music with a very personal pop writing. This is for sure one of the best sound from the past few months and also an amazing revelation.
