Unlike other movies that have entered the canon of "cult films,' Streets of Fire is actually considered a good movie by some people who judge that sort of thing. But it's over-the-top nature of the characters, the terrific music, and the combination of Michael Pare and Diane Lane that make this movie absolutely worth seeing. [...] The post Midnight Music Movies at The New Parkway: Streets of Fire appeared first on Spinning Platters .

Marina Abramović has earned international renown and acclaim for the boldness and startling originality of her work. But when the self-proclaimed "grandmother of performance art" decided to put her life story on stage, Abramović opted to hand the reigns to another visionary avant-gardist, director Robert Wilson . The remarkable result, The Life and Death of Marina Abramović , features Abramović in dual roles--as herself and her mother--and Willem Dafoe as the narrator, with original music composed and performed by Antony Hegarty of Antony and the Johnsons.

Antony and the Johnsons (who are brilliant) have delivered a haunting new video for their new song, Cut the World (via Pitchfork).  Willem Dafoe, Marina Abramović, and Carice van Houten star in the video.  On another note, the track itself is quite amazing, in true Antony and the Johnsons fashion. You can purchase their new record today, yes TODAY via iTunes ( HERE ) and Amazon ( HERE [...]

Antony and the Johnsons - Cut the World

El día de mañana Antony & the Johnsons lanzará su quinto álbum a través de Secretly Canadian/Rough Trade y justo para comenzar con la promoción del álbum, se acaba estrenar el video para “Cut the World” -canción escrita originalmente para la opera The Life and Death of Marina Abramovi ć-, bajo la dirección de NABIL -quien ha trabajado con Bon Iver, Frank Ocean, Kanye West, etcétera-. El video de “Cut the World” cuenta con apariciones de Willem Dafoe, Marina Abramović y [...]

Today Pitchfork premiered the video for "Cut The World," the title track off Antony and the Johnsons ' upcoming live symphonic album. Originally written for the theatre production "The Life And Death of Marina Abramovic," "Cut The World" now gets the music video treatment courtesy of director NABIL (Kanye West, Bon Iver, Frank Ocean). This dark, rather literal interpretation of the song title features chilling performances from a murderous Carice Van Houten (Game Of Thrones) and an unsuspecting Willem Dafoe. Be warned: it's a tad NSFW. Cut The World [...]

This morning, we woke up to this haunting video for the previously unreleased title track from Antony and the Johnsons' new live album, which drops tomorrow, and we have to admit, we were a little scared to come into the office afterwards. The song, originally written for The Life and Death of Marina Abramović , Antony Hegarty's operatic biography of the Serbian-born artist, is full of Hegarty's trademark lilting vocals and heartbreakingly beautiful chord progressions. The NABIL -directed video, which will screen on August 11 at the Southbank Centre in London as part of the  Meltdown Festival [...]

We've all heard of Bosses Day, you know, the day that we celebrate the person that makes our life less enjoyable than it would be otherwise. But have you heard of Kill Your Boss Day? Well that seems to be the theme for Antony and The Johnsons' new video for "Cut The World", the title track from Haggerty's live album which was recorded at DK Concert Hall in Copenhagen, Denmark in September of last year. The video stars Carice Van Houten and Willem Dafoe with Houton playing the role as the secretary and Dafoe as the "about to receive a [...]

This week sees the release of Antony And The Johnsons ' new live album Cut The World , and today Pitchfork premiered a new song and video from it for the album's title track. Directed by NABIL and featuring Willem Dafoe and Carice van Houten, it's a deeply dark video that's had me watching it five times in a row, it's so harrowing and affecting, and the music probably wouldn't fit any other video made for it. Cut The [...]

The title track from Antony's new, live and symphonic release Cut The World is a previously unreleased track coming from the stage show The Life and Death of Marina Abramović . Fittingly, the famed performance artist brings her iconic mug to this stark, chilling, short filmic Nabil-directed clip's conclusion, but not before Carice Van Houten (of Game Of Thrones ) and Willem Dafoe (of Game Of Cheekbones ) work their way through a little secretary/boss disagreement. That is, Willem's character seems to feel he is entitled to keep living, while Carice takes the opposite position. [...]

I know that criticizing Speed 2, Cruise Control is like shooting fish in a barrel, but I remember as an impressionable youngster going to watch it at a theatre with a sense of excitement. Sure, it would be silly, but it would at least be fun, right? Right? Sadly, the movie was not fun at all. Not only did it begin an irrational and deep-seated resentment of Sandra Bullock that lingers with me to this day, it reinforced that I should be wary of anything calling itself a "sequel." [...]

If you're a New Yorker, you know of Marina Abramovic from her performance piece and retrospective held at the MOMA last summer. If you are a fan of dance and disco-revival, well you are well acquainted with Antony Hegarty's hauntingly beautiful voice and infectious rhythms. Apparantly the two are quite close friends, and collaberated on Marina's latest piece for the theater: The Life and Death of Marina Abramović . Marina asked Antony to create the music for the production, in which he wrote and performs nine songs (if I am able to track down a soundtrack [...]

The Friday Q&A show sold out, but don't fret!
