DOLOR Y GLORIA (PAIN AND GLORY)
Recommended. Almodรณvar's exquisite as usual. He's clearly discovered the golden formula for filling cinemas. Colourful patterns along with opening credits are intriguing already. What comes next, nails you to the seat. The story evokes mixed emotions continuously and feels like it's very personal to the director himself. Outstanding acting and cinematography. Fascinating decor of the director's flat: lots of bright, colourful patterns, different but never clashing.
IMAGINE WAKING UP TOMORROW AND ALL MUSIC HAS DISAPPEARED
Watchable. The documentary by Bill Drummond from KLF (once famous for "Doctorin' The Tardis") is frustrating while you watch but astonishing once you realize the tricky concept behind it. Explores our relationship with music where in primitive societies people would just sing and where mass media made us believe that only few of us are as exceptional as to deserve the right to sing and how iphone destroyed the whole idea of listening since you only click on what's next. Yet this exploration comes on the margin. The core is the ex-KLF guitare player's reluctance to the music business and fascination with sounds leading him to travel and record a capella voices. Requires patience and leniency.
