A me quando sento dire "ah che grande regista è Lars Von Trier" nasce sempre un punto interrogativo sulla fronte, un po' come quando sento dire "ah i Litfiba dei primi dischi". Sono cose che non capisco e forse non capiró mai. Poi di sabato pomeriggio, da solo, decido che ho una sensazione forte su Melancholia, sapendo che sì magari dai, stavolta non ci ha messo un cane che dice "il caos regna". Von Trier non é né un provocatore né un regista. é un coglionazzo, questo lo sapevo già, ma un coglionazzo che stavolta ha tirato fuori [...]

I didn't become an actor until I was an old man of 28 or 29. I declared to the world that I was an actor. Nobody heard me, but I did declare it.

Yes, today is Friday. Another week passes and I'm all for the weekend. I finished another interview, this time with Warren Hildebrand also known as Foxes in Fiction . If you're reading this Warren: thank you! Outside, the slush freezes and ice fall from branches. This week's mixtape is inspired by Hila 's falling garden post and Warren's capture of the living world in his music. Add to this Dorothy Parker's " One Perfect Rose " and we're all set for springtime. I've also been working on a new video project, [...]

we gave you the audio a while ago now here is the video visuals from Wim Wenders' In weiter Ferne, so nah!/ Der Himmel über Berlin
Whereupon a kisse may be said to be rather a cooplinge together of the soule, then of the bodye, because it hath suche force in her, that it draweth her unto it, and (as it were) se perateth her from the bodye. For this do all chast lovers covet a kisse, as a cooplinge of soules together. In Wings of Desire, Marion and Damiel kiss with their eyes even though they can't see each other. Their eyes speak in layers with beauty's force and beauty is always good. It's beauty seen through the eyes of [...]

There's a cool blog called The Song In My Head Today that I happened across not long ago. Recently, the subject was favorite movie soundtracks. I'm not sure if I could name one favorite - could any sane person do so? - but the soundtrack to a little-seen movie called Until The End Of The World would definitely receive consideration. I'm not sure when I became intrigued with the movie or even really what about it that had caught my attention. It was several months before it had a release date [...]

Movies about movie-making tend to be either hilariously vitriolic ( The Player ) or poignant ( Lost In La Mancha ): unfortunately, The State Of Things is neither. Wim Wenders' re-released 1982 film follows the fortunes of maverick German film director Friedrich Munro (Patrick Bauchau), as he travels from Portugal to LA in search of his missing producer, after Munro's post-apocalyptic B-Movie remake runs out of film. The fact that the first nine and a half minutes is made up of Munro's sepia-toned sci-fi nonsense, before the film proper begins, will try the patience of [...]

Nach dem "verunglückten" letzten Studioalbum sind die Toten Hosen für ihr neues Werk weniger Kompromisse eingegangen. Sänger Campino spricht im Interview über Discos und seine Zeit als Lernender. In der neuen Single singst du: "Alles steht unter Strom, vom ersten bis zum letzten Ton." Kann man diese Textzeile als Motto des Albums verstehen? Campino: Für mich war das Motto des Albums immer Energie. Nach dem für uns schönen Unplugged-Erlebnis und nach der etwas verunglückten Studioplatte "Zurück zum Glück", auf der wir sehr viele Kompromisse eingegangen sind und [...]

L'été fut pourri. Le soleil absent. Je manque de lumière. J'ai envie de désert. Alors je me projette dans la scène d'ouverture de « Paris, Texas » le film de Wim Wenders. Avec la musique de Ry Cooder . Et ce morceau incroyable « Paris, Texas » .
