Jack (George Clooney) is an artful assassin with a lengthy track record, constantly on the move and always watching his back.  When an assignment goes wrong and a lover ends up dead, he vows that the next job will be his last.  This final obligation takes him to a picturesque town nestled amongst lush Italian hills, its historical piazzas bursting with life.  But to Jack, every location is a trap and every person a potential threat.  Still, he surprises himself, enjoying confessional conversations over Armagnac with an insightful priest and slipping into an affair with a local beauty.  But by letting his guard down, Jack may be tempting fate.  A dangerous shadow-dweller shows every sign of closing in, and the mysterious woman who has hired him may not be all that she seems.  As an increasingly wary Jack contemplates life, love and death in Italy, the film escalates into a climactic showdown through the cobbled maze of age-old alleyways.  This sexy, suspenseful and intricate story blends intrigue and passionate romance within a searing morality tale to finally reveal the heart of this deeply private man.</p>
<p>Directed by Anton Corbijn (Control)</p>

<description><![CDATA[SHADOW PLAY: THE MAKING OF ANTON CORBIJN, de Josh Whiteman El 27 d&#8217;agost de 1972, Anton Corbij]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><em><strong>SHADOW PLAY: THE MAKING OF ANTON CORBIJN</strong></em>, de<strong> Josh Whiteman</strong><br />
El 27 d&#8217;agost de 1972, <strong>Anton Corbijn</strong> va disparar les primeres fotografies. Se&#8217;n va anar a Groningen amb la càmera del seu pare a veure un concert de rock. Es va posar a  les primeres files del concert, i foto rere foto, un jove <strong>Corbijn</strong> va decidir que era així, fent fotografies a bandes de rock&#8217;n'roll, com volia passar el seu temps. <strong>Corbijn</strong>, nascut a una població &#8216;perduda&#8217; d&#8217;Holanda, Strijen, havia rebut una educació catòlica, i gràcies,  primer a la música rock, i després a la fotografia, va aconseguir oxigenar la seva vida, respirar llibertat, amb la sort de trobar una afició que després es convertiria en la seva professió. Sort, i hores, hores i més hores fotografiant, fent allò que més li agradava.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-7370" title="cobijn_davis" src="http://www.bcncultura.cat/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/cobijn_davis.jpg" alt="cobijn_davis" width="234" height="347" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7373" title="corbijn_tom waits" src="http://www.bcncultura.cat/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/corbijn_tom-waits.jpg" alt="corbijn_tom waits" width="234" height="335" /></p>
<p>Corbijn de seguida va enviar fotografies a diferents revistes. I li van publicar. No obstant, també li van tancar portes als nassos; va rebre una carta d&#8217;una productora indicant que no volien les seves fotos, perquè eren massa fosques, brutes, i que els artistes sortien desmillorats. <strong>Corbijn</strong> no va fer cas. Va aprofitar al màxim uns anys, com ell indica, on era factible apropar-se a les estrelles del rock; després calia el talent i el treball per obtenir el sí dels artistes, però ja d&#8217;entrada, era molt més senzill. No calia tenir amiguets ni ser el fill de per accedir-hi.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-7371" title="corbijn_keith richards" src="http://www.bcncultura.cat/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/corbijn_keith-richards.jpg" alt="corbijn_keith richards" width="235" height="239" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7378" title="corbijn_iggy" src="http://www.bcncultura.cat/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/corbijn_iggy1.jpg" alt="corbijn_iggy" width="234" height="234" /></p>
<p><strong>David Bowie</strong>,<strong> Captain Beefheart</strong>,<strong> The Rolling Stones, Miles Davis</strong>, <strong>Joy Division</strong>, <strong>U2</strong>,<strong> REM</strong>, <strong>Depeche Mode</strong>, <strong>Nirvana</strong>,<strong> Tom Waits</strong>, <strong>Elvis Costello</strong>, <strong>PJ Harvey, Johnny Depp, Kylie Minogue</strong>&#8230; la llista d&#8217;artistes que ha passat per la seva càmera és infinita. Diuen que <strong>Corbijn</strong> crea artistes amb les seves fotografies; que la seva mirada atorga una força i un nivell que alguns artistes ni mereixen. Hi ha una anècdota amb Duran Duran: un amic de <strong>Corbijn</strong> li va recomanar que no els hi fés fotos perquè engrandia a una banda mediocre.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-7385 alignleft" title="corbijn_costello" src="http://www.bcncultura.cat/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/corbijn_costello.jpg" alt="corbijn_costello" width="260" height="178" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7389" title="corbijn_pjharvey" src="http://www.bcncultura.cat/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/corbijn_pjharvey.jpg" alt="corbijn_pjharvey" width="182" height="182" /></p>
<p>En el documental prenen força protagonisme la veu d&#8217;artistes i amics com el grandiloqüent Bono, David Gahan i Michael Stipe; coincideixen en comentar la genialitat, la creativitat i la capacitat per improvisar de l&#8217;holandès. També es dediquen molts minuts al rodatge i maldecaps que va donar <em><strong>Control</strong></em>; <strong>Corbijn</strong> va haver d&#8217;hipotecar la casa per poder acabar el projecte. Cannes la va rebre amb una ovació de cinc minuts un cop acabada la projecció; la pel·li va ser un merescut èxit. Projectes fallits, com el videoclip <em>Pride</em> d&#8217;U2; èxits immediats com el videoclip de <em>Heart Shaped Box</em> de Nirvana; autorretrats divertidíssims disfressat d&#8217;estrella del rock; la mort del seu pare durant la post-producció de Control;<em> Shadow Play</em> fa un generós repás d&#8217;un dels gran fotògrafs dels darrers 30 anys.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-7388" title="corbijn_minogue" src="http://www.bcncultura.cat/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/corbijn_minogue2.jpg" alt="corbijn_minogue" width="237" height="167" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7395" title="corbijn_depp" src="http://www.bcncultura.cat/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/corbijn_depp1.jpg" alt="corbijn_depp" width="248" height="166" /></p>
<p><strong>Corbijn</strong> posa punt i final al documental comentant que a ell, quan era jove, li preocupava i el cohibia el fet de no tenir cap mena de formació artística. Com ell afegeix: <em>&#8220;&#8230;I què? Jo faig la meva feina, que és aquesta. Hi haurà gent a qui li agradi i a gent que no. Però és aquesta, i existeix. I per cert, no m&#8217;agrada parlar de la meva feina; la faig, i llestos. Bé, prou, me&#8217;n vaig a treballar&#8221;.</em> Com han canviat els temps i la mentalitat.</p>

<description><![CDATA[E: Para los que no podáis esperar a nuestra sección en el No són hores de esta noche, os adelantamos]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2114" title="F102D246LH01" src="http://music4girls.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/f102d246lh01.jpg?w=300" alt="F102D246LH01" width="300" height="148" />E: </strong></span>Para los que no podáis esperar a nuestra sección en el <strong>No són hores</strong> de esta noche, os adelantamos que hacemos un análisis profundo y pormenorizado de uno de nuestros festivales favoritos: el <a href="http://www.in-edit.beefeater.es/" target="_blank"><strong>Festival de Cine Documental Musical In-Edit</strong></a>, cuyo propio nombre es más descriptivo de lo que pueda ser yo. Pero por si hay algún alma que todavía no sepa de qué va, hay que destacar que es un festival de cine documental dedicado a la música y sus daños colaterales. En él cada año (y con este ya van siete) podemos disfrutar de piezas que de otra manera sería imposible poder ver en nuestro país, con la música como eje central, sus documentales abordan artistas, músicos, luminarias, iconos y estrellas desde puntos de vista biográficos, sociológicos, literarios y de investigación. Pero ojo, que esto suena a coñazo y de eso nada. Cuando uno acaba de verse sus pelis en el <strong>In-Edit</strong> tiene la muy reconfortante sensación de ser un poquito más culto y saber un poquito más de qué va el asunto. Y eso, señores, en los tiempos en los que estamos, no tiene precio. <span style="color:#3366ff;"><strong>Raül</strong></span> y yo llevamos días haciendo encaje de bolillos para organizarnos la semana, desde hoy y hasta el domingo 8 de Noviembre, el <strong>In-Edit</strong> inunda el <strong>Aribau Club</strong> y el cine <strong>Rex</strong> con su particular tormenta de imágenes musicales. A continuación, nuestros imprescindibles. Ya sabéis: nos vemos en el cine.<!--more--></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#3366ff;"><strong><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2115" title="Imagen 1" src="http://music4girls.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/imagen-117.png?w=300" alt="Imagen 1" width="300" height="129" />R: FAVELA ON BLAST + BEYOND IPANEMA. </strong></span>Ahora que África le está quitando el primer puesto como influencia en ciertos estilos musicales (principalmente, la música de baile, pero hay de todo y para todos), puede que sea el mejor momento para ponerse las pilas con Brasil. El <strong>In-Edit</strong> te proporciona una doblea excusa. Para empezar y, sin duda, como propuesta más interesante de las dos, uno de los imprescindibles del festival es <strong>Favela on Blast</strong>, documental co-dirigido por <strong>Leandro HBL</strong> junto al mismísimo <strong>Diplo</strong> (que resulta que se llama <strong>Wesley Pentz</strong>), ese mago de la producción al que deberían arrestar por habernos puesto en penitencia a la cantante de <strong>Camela</strong>, digo, a <strong>M.I.A.</strong> Para redimirse, esta pieza audiovisual pone el foco en las favelas desde un punto de vista que evita a toda costa el victimismo y el &#8220;<em>la cosa está muy malita</em>&#8221; para centrarse en una celebración de un estilo de vida y del sonido que de eso se desprende. De forma completista puede recurrirse a <strong>Beyond Ipanema</strong>, donde muchos artistas de &#8220;fuera&#8221; de Brasil dan su visión de la influencia de la música de allá en la música de acá. Es decir, que artistas como <strong>David Byrne</strong>, <strong>Arto Lindsay</strong>, <strong>M.I.A. </strong>(<em>again and again</em>) o <strong>Devendra Banhart</strong> hablan de otros artistas como <strong>Os Mutantes</strong>, <strong>CSS</strong>, <strong>Tom Zé</strong>, <strong>Marcos Valle</strong>, <strong>Sergio Mendes &#38; Brasil &#8216;66</strong> o <strong>Roberto Menescal</strong>&#8230; sin olvidar, claro está, el origen de la cuestión con nombres como <strong>Astrud Gilberto</strong>. <strong>Favela on Blast </strong>podrá verse <strong>el sábado 31 a las 22:30 en el Aribau Club 2</strong> (con presentación incluída de <strong>DJ Coco</strong>), <strong>el lunes 2 a las 18:30 en el mismo lugar</strong> y <strong>el jueves 5 a las 20:00 en el Aribau Club 1</strong>. <strong>Beyond Ipanema</strong>, por su parte, se podrá degustar <strong>el sábado 7 a las 22:00 en el Aribau Club 1</strong> (con la presencia del director, <strong>Guto Barra</strong>) y <strong>el domingo 8 a las 16:15 en el Rex</strong>.<img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2116" title="Imagen 2" src="http://music4girls.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/imagen-25.png?w=300" alt="Imagen 2" width="300" height="119" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>E: JOHNNY CASH AT FOLSOM PRISON/JOHNNY CASH´S AMERICA. </strong></span>Dos documentales dedicados a una de las figuras más importantes que ha parido la música americana: <strong>el Hombre de Negro</strong> (y tiene su coña que yo sea tan fan). Patriotismo, adicciones, amor, pasión y sobre todo country en vena en dos documentales que cualquier fan de la música de raíces no debería perderse. El primero recoge la mítica actuación de <strong>Cash</strong> en la Prisión de Folsom en 1968, y que dejó uno de los albumes grabados en directo más vendidos y reconocidos de nuestros tiempos. <strong>Cash siempre</strong> había presumido de vivir fuera de la ley, y los <em>outsiders</em> legales siempre tenían un hueco en sus letras y en su corazón, por ello, a lo largo de su vida hizo un auténtico peregrinaje por la prisiones de su país para alegrarles las noches con bourbon e historias de caída, huída y redención. Guardias, presos, prensa y él mismo documentan esta actuación en uno de los filmes más deseados por sus fans. Pero, por si este caso concreto no era suficiente para entender su vida y contexto, en <strong>Jonny Cash´s America</strong> se nos retrata al hombre y al artista a través de sus admiradores más populares: <strong>Al Gore</strong>, <strong>Ozzy Ousborne</strong>, <strong>Bob Dylan</strong>, <strong>Sheryl Crow</strong> y otros que poco tienen que ver entre sí, encuentran un lugar común al hablar de lo que <strong>Cash</strong> representó en sus vidas, en la historia de la música y en la de su propio país. Para ver el primero, tres días en el <strong>Aribau Club 1</strong>: <strong>Jueves 5 a las 22:00h</strong> (presentación con el director, <strong>Bestor Cram</strong>), <strong>Viernes 6 a las 18:00</strong> y el <strong>Domingo 8 a las 20:00</strong>. El segundo, <strong>hoy a las 20:15 en el Rex</strong>, y <strong>el domingo 8 a las 18:00 en el Aribau Club 1</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#3366ff;"><strong><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2117" title="Imagen 3" src="http://music4girls.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/imagen-3.png?w=300" alt="Imagen 3" width="300" height="142" />R: THE FOLK SINGER. </strong></span>¿Alguien dudaba que este sería uno de mis niños mimados de este festival? Vamos, como que me he comprado tres camisas de lumberjack en <strong>H&#38;M</strong> sólo para tener dónde escoger para el día del estreno&#8230; Y eso que, al fin y al cabo, <strong>The Folk Singer</strong> no gira en torno de ninguna de mis figuras idolatradas (ya sabéis: ni <strong>Iron &#38; Wine</strong> ni <strong>Bonnie &#8216;Prince&#8217; Billy</strong> ni <strong>Bill Callahan</strong> pululan por este documental), sino que centra su mirada en la no menos interesante vida de <strong>Jon Konrad Wert</strong>, también conocido como <strong>Possessed By Paul James</strong>. Él es un hombre DE VERDAD, un cantante folk DE VERDAD: nada de pose, de estrella o de ese glamour que, al final, y por muchas barbas y camisas de cuadros que ostenten, acaban por mancillar las figuras de las estrellas de este género. La cámara sigue a <strong>Wert</strong> en sus vivencias cotidianas, dejando al descubierto heridas, sinsabores y contradicciones que tienen mucho que ver con un artista pero también con una cultura, la norteamericana: barras de bar, disparos contra latas y lágrimas de madrugada. Todo eso y mucho más <strong>el sábado 7 a las 23:00 en el Aribau Club 2</strong> (con sesión de preguntas y respuestas con el mismo director, <strong>M.A. Litter</strong>) y <strong>el domingo 8 a las 16:30 en la misma sala</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2118" title="Imagen 4" src="http://music4girls.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/imagen-4.png?w=300" alt="Imagen 4" width="300" height="143" />E: THE AGONY AND ECSTASY OF PHIL SPECTOR. </strong></span>Alguien me decía el otro día que no le extrañaba que yo quisiera ver este documental porque era &#8220;puramente tomatero&#8221;. Pues sí. Quizá sea el más <strong>Sálvame</strong> de todos los que se proyectan este año, y tiene pinta de ser uno de los más hilarantes. <strong>Phil Spector</strong> habla, y habla, y habla y habla sobre sí mismo, sus logros, sus virtudes, sus amigos y sus enemigos. Para los primeros tiene piropos justitos, y para los segundos, afila sus flechas. Grabado durante su juicio por homicidio (recordemos, estaba acusado de haber asesinado a <strong>Lana Clark</strong> en 2003), cuyo resultado fue hace unos meses una condena de trece años de prisión, <strong>Spector</strong> hace un repaso a su vida y habla sobre su concepción de la música y de cómo creó un sonido y una forma de entender la producción musical, todo desde su personal perspectiva de la realidad, tan distorsionada como sus peluquines. Para los que quieran disfrutar de la megalomanía extasíaca de <strong>Spector</strong> <strong>el sábado 31 a las 20:00 en el Aribau Club 1</strong>, o <strong>en el Rex el martes 3 a las 22:15</strong> y <strong>el viernes 6 a las 18:15</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#3366ff;"><strong><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2119" title="Imagen 5" src="http://music4girls.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/imagen-5.png?w=300" alt="Imagen 5" width="300" height="150" />R: SOUL POWER + SOUNDTRACK FOR A REVOLUTION.</strong></span> Doble sesión didáctica. Ya lo decimos siempre: el <strong>In-Edit</strong> tiene muchísimo de &#8220;cursillo de otoño&#8221; sobre música en imágenes. Y este doblete lo prueba de forma más que efectiva: entre los dos documentos, suman una <em>master class</em> absoluta al respecto de la lucha por los derechos civiles de la comunidad negra y, sobre todo, de la estrecha relación de este movimiento con la música. <strong>Soundtrack for a revolution</strong> es, probablemente, el film más &#8220;formal&#8221; de los dos en su voluntad de narrar esa lucha por los derechos civiles y la forma en el que la música proporcionó cohesión a una comunidad que necesitaba ser cohesionada para luchar hombro con hombro. Todo sazonado con testimonios de gente como <strong>Wycleff Jean</strong> o <strong>The Roots</strong>. <strong>Soul Power</strong>, sin embargo, opta por una visión mucho más lateral y, probablemente, más interesante. Su punto de partida es el mítico combate de boxeo entre <strong>Muhammed Ali</strong> y <strong>George Foreman</strong> en la ciudad del Zaire en 1974: en aquel momento, la ciudad se convirtió en un hervidero de genuino Black Power elevado hasta las estrellas gracias a la presencia de actuaciones de artistas como <strong>James Brown</strong>, <strong>Miriam Makeba</strong> y <strong>B.B. King</strong>. Lo dicho: <em>this is black celebration</em>! Déjate contagiar, primero por <strong>Soundtrack for a revolution</strong>: <strong>el lunes 2 a las 22:15</strong> (con <strong>Bill Guttentag</strong> y <strong>Dan Sturman</strong>, los directores), <strong>el jueves 5 a las 18:15 </strong> y <strong>el viernes 6 a las 20:15, siempre en el Rex</strong>. Sigue después con <strong>Soul Power</strong>, que se proyectará <strong>el viernes 6 a las 22:25</strong> (con <strong>Jeffrey Levy-Hinte</strong>, el director, en la sala), <strong>el sábado 7 a las 16:15</strong> y <strong>el domingo 8 a las 20:15</strong>, <strong>siempre en el cine Rex también</strong>. Debe ser el black spot.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2120" title="filmimage" src="http://music4girls.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/filmimage.jpg?w=300" alt="filmimage" width="300" height="168" />E: SHADOW PLAY:THE MAKING OF ANTON CORBIJN. </strong></span>Salimos de lo estrictamente musical para adentrarnos en el universo visual del fotógrafo y director de las estrellas&#8230; del indie, se entiende. Empezó su carrera como fotógrafo del <strong>NME</strong> y de ahí pasó a ser el creador del imaginario visual de <strong>Joy Division</strong>, poca gente hay que no se estremezca con el vídeo de <em>Atmosphere</em>, y era cuestión de tiempo que se lanzara a dirigir el biopic de <strong>Ian Curtis</strong>. Lástima que <strong>Control</strong> esté basada en la biografía de <strong>Deborah Curtis</strong> y sufra la subjetividad caprichosa y poco certera de la despechada mujer del cantante, pero esa es otra historia. Hasta el día de hoy, ha fotografiado a todo el mundo: <strong>Depeche Mode</strong>, <strong>U2</strong>, <strong>Annie Lennox</strong>, <strong>Pj Harvey</strong>, <strong>Iggy Pop</strong>, <strong>Bowie</strong>, <strong>Brian Eno</strong> y todas las luminarias del rock y del pop contemporáneo, que no dudan en deshacerse en elogios hacia su trabajo y su figura. Uno de los artistas visuales más admirados y populares de nuestros días, se nos presenta en este documental visto por lo demás y construido a través de su labor diaria en el estudio. Solo apto para estetas del blanco y negro. <strong>En el cine Rex el domingo 1 a las 22:15</strong>; <strong>el martes 3 a las 20:15</strong> y <strong>el sábado 7 a las 18:15</strong>.</p>

<p>Tom Waits photographed by <a href="http://www.corbijn.co.uk/">Anton Corbijn</a>.  Corbijn is famous for his prolific work photographing the likes of U2, REM, Sinead O&#8217;Connor and of course, Tom Waits.  His gritty monochromes have graced several U2 album covers and his movie, Control is worth checking out if you are a fan of Joy Division.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Vai ser no sábado dia 10 o show mais esperado do ano, segundo o New York Times, a Rolling Stone e o britânico NME.</p>
<p> &#8220;É pura divesão. Você não para de dançar. Nunca senti tanta alegria em um show, e olha que estava sóbrio, porém ébrio de música rock&#8221; &#8211; comentou Jean-Jacques Gerard  Baptist Taunay, no último show em Arles, França. </p>
<p>&#8220;Realmente eu não sei como eles conseguem aguentar essa turnê mundial. Já falei com Betânia, não perco a apresentação na Bahia de jeito nenhum &#8211; disse Caetano &#8211; ainda mais aquele baixista, o Ben, que tem o pé lourinho, aff&#8221;!!!</p>
<p>&#8220;Na verdade, eu comecei a fazer listas de música por causa do Planctons. O repertório deles é imbatível. Não há como negar!&#8221; &#8211; disse Paulo Pan, Anarkaos.</p>
<p>&#8220;Minhas primeiras fotos profissionais foram tiradas do Planctons. Por isso me apaixonei pelo preto e branco!&#8221; &#8211; falou Anton Corbijn.</p>
<p>&#8220;Joga pedra na Jeni, eu vou é ver o Planctons na Tijuca junto com o Tremendão Erasmo&#8221;! Chico Buarque.</p>
<p>&#8220;Quando ouvi Pretty Woman, música de Roy Orbison e riff matador de Quirino, pensei: &#8216;vou formar uma banda de heavy metal&#8217; &#8211; exclamou Drixs, Anarkaos &#8211; esse foi o primeiro riff heavy!!&#8221;</p>
<p>Então não perca o grande show em parceria com o Tucuruí, no Novo Paladar!!!</p>

<description><![CDATA[Academy Award winner George Clooney stars in the title role of The American for director Anton Corbi]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img src="http://liveforfilms.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/george_clooney_280x4_11406a.jpg?w=186" alt="George_Clooney_280x4_11406a" title="George_Clooney_280x4_11406a" width="186" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-6939" />Academy Award winner George Clooney stars in the title role of <strong>The American</strong> for director Anton Corbijn (Control). Focus Features holds worldwide rights to the suspense thriller, which begins production this week on location in Italy. Focus CEO James Schamus made the announcement today.</p>
<p>The screenplay by Rowan Joffe is adapted from Martin Booth&#8217;s novel A Very Private Gentleman, published in 2005. The film&#8217;s producers are This is that&#8217;s Anne Carey, who most recently produced Adventureland and The Savages; Smokehouse&#8217;s Grant Heslov, an Academy Award nominee as producer and co-writer of Good Night, And Good Luck., and producer/director of this fall&#8217;s The Men Who Stare at Goats; Smokehouse&#8217;s Mr. Clooney; Ann Wingate, who most recently produced Into the Storm, starring Emmy Award winner Brendan Gleeson; and Jill Green, executive producer of the long-running U.K. television series Foyle&#8217;s War. Enzo Sisti, co-producer of the upcoming When in Rome, is executive producer of The American.</p>
<p>Alone among assassins, Jack (played by Mr. Clooney) is a master craftsman. When a job in Sweden ends more harshly than expected for this American abroad, he vows to his contact Larry (Bruce Altman of this fall&#8217;s Peter and Vandy) that his next assignment will be his last. Jack reports to the Italian countryside, where he holes up in a small town and relishes being away from death for a spell. The assignment, as specified by a Belgian woman, Mathilde (Thekla Reuten of Focus&#8217; award-winning In Bruges), is in the offing as a weapon is constructed. Surprising himself, Jack seeks out the friendship of local priest Father Benedetto (Italian screen and stage veteran Paolo Bonacelli) and pursues romance with local woman Clara (Italian leading lady Violante Placido). But by stepping out of the shadows, Jack may be tempting fate.</p>
<p>Focus senior vice president, production Kahli Small and creative executive Michael Pruss are supervising the project for president of production John Lyons. The American is Mr. Corbijn&#8217;s second feature film as director, following the award-winning 2007 drama Control, for which the director was honored with two British Independent Film Awards. The latter feature&#8217;s cinematographer and editor, Martin Ruhe and Andrew Hulme, respectively, are rejoining Mr. Corbijn on The American; Mark Digby and Suttirat Larlarb, both of Slumdog Millionaire, are production designer and costume designer, respectively. Mr. Schamus said, <em>&#8220;The combination of a visionary artist of the stature of Anton Corbijn with the great George Clooney is, for all of us at Focus, a movie marriage made in heaven.&#8221;</em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="line-height:12px;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:7pt;margin:0;"><span style="color:#3366ff;">Crítica de Cinema &#8211; Texto publicado originalmente no Judão, em 21/05/2008.</span></span></p>
<p><a href="http://oblogdozarko.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/obdz-control.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-279" title="Control" src="http://oblogdozarko.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/obdz-control.jpg" alt="Control" width="450" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Uma das histórias mais mitológicas da evolução do <em>rock</em> diz respeito à primeira passagem dos Sex Pistols por Manchester, Inglaterra, para um concerto que quase se tornou um belo fracasso, visto que o show, aberto ao grande público, foi assistido por apenas 42 pessoas. Um fracasso, mas somente teórico. Na prática, este momento revolucionou os alicerces da música: inspiradas por aquele momento mágico, aquelas 42 cabeças conheceram-se, fizeram contatos, tiveram idéias, formaram bandas. Dali, saiu um obstinado Tony Wilson, jornalista que fundou o selo <em>Factory</em> e a casa de shows <em>Hacienda</em>; o produtor Martin Hannett, responsável pela descoberta de grandes nomes da música; e um movimento chamado <strong>Madchester</strong>, que lançou bandas como Buzzcocks, The Jam, The Fall, Siouxsie and the Banshees, A Certain Ratio, Happy Mondays…</p>
<p><em><strong>Control</strong></em> (Idem, 2007), cinebiografia que finalmente chega aos cinemas brazucas nesta sexta-feira, centra suas atenções na mais enigmática e talvez mais importante descoberta deste movimento, o célebre <strong>Ian Curtis</strong>, líder do Joy Division. Mais que um simples músico, Curtis botou o Joy Division no mapa com sua voz grave e suas letras pra lá de depressivas e, depois de três anos à frente da banda, tornou-se um mito ao cometer suicídio em 1980, com apenas 23 anos de idade e dias antes da primeira turnê do grupo nos Estados Unidos, o que lhe daria fama definitiva e possivelmente o alçaria de vez ao <em>mainstream</em>.</p>
<p>O mais legal é que <em>Control</em>, dirigido com maestria pelo ex-diretor de videoclipes <strong>Anton Corbijn</strong>, consegue fugir do rótulo “fiz-sucesso-enchi-a-fuça-de-drogas-e-morri-jovem” que assola boa parte das cinebiografias de estrelas do <em>rock</em>. Primeiro, porque Ian Curtis jamais poderia ser classificado como um sujeito problemático (não, ao menos, neste sentido). Segundo, porque o excelente roteiro do quase estreante Matt Greenhalgh, inspirado no romance escrito pela viúva de Ian, Deborah Curtis, retrata o músico não como uma personalidade indomável, mas como um cara que cometeu burradas muito cedo e não teve maturidade suficiente para lidar com estas escolhas, o que refletiu em sua saúde, seu estado emocional e seu trabalho. Terceiro, porque em nenhum momento Corbijn tenta explicar ou defender as decisões de Curtis; só o que o cineasta quer é revelar a história como testemunha ocular, como um observador à distância.</p>
<p>Talvez a mais acertada escolha do roteiro, além da brilhante fotografia em preto e branco, seja nadar contra a corrente e, à exemplo dos sensacionais <em>Johnny &#38; June</em> (aquele do Johnny Cash) e <em>Não Estou Lá</em> (aquele do Bob Dylan dividido por seis, hehehe), centrar o foco em um ponto específico da vida de Ian Curtis — neste caso, seu relacionamento com a esposa Debbie Curtis, do ponto de vista dela –, ao contrário da maioria das cinebiografias do gênero que entregam-se facilmente aos paradigmas já desgastados do gênero. Não espere encontrar aqui algo convencional demais em termos de narrativa, como um <em>La Bamba</em>, um <em>The Doors</em> ou um <em>Ray</em> da vida (não desmerecendo estes bons filmes, tá?).</p>
<p>Então, o que temos em <em>Control</em> é uma rápida passagem pela pós-adolescência de Ian Curtis (<strong>Sam Riley</strong>) em 1973, onde conhecemos sua paixão por David Bowie e <em>glam rock</em>, sua queda por poesias, e a tendência ao isolamento e à aversão por pessoas (fantasma exorcizado em uma das canções mais populares do Joy Division, <em>Isolation</em>), aversão esta que sofre um abalo quando Curtis conhece Debbie (<strong>Samantha Morton</strong>, de <em>Minority Report: A Nova Lei</em>), namoradinha de um amigo. O casamento veio rápido e sem pensar, assim como o convite para cantar na banda Warsaw, convite que veio exatamente durante o tal show dos Sex Pistols em Manchester, citado no primeiro parágrafo deste texto.</p>
<p>Com a banda estruturada e rebatizada Joy Division (uma referência clara ao exército de Hitler), chegam também o apadrinhamento de Tony Wilson, na época apresentador de um programa de música na popular TV Granada, a rápida ascensão da banda, a popularidade com as apresentações na extinta Factory, a gravidez de Debbie… a dificuldade em conviver com mais de uma pessoa sob o mesmo teto e a total desestruturação de seu casamento, desestruturação esta representada pela figura da jornalista belga Annik Honoré (a maravilhosa romena <strong>Alexandra Maria Lara</strong>, uma das protagonistas de <em>A Queda: As Últimas Horas de Hitler</em> e esposa de Sam Riley na vida real), convertida em sua amante. Nas palavras do próprio: “tomei as decisões erradas cedo demais”.</p>
<p>Dividido entre a segurança e a rotina de “cidadezinha do interior” ao lado de Debbie e a paixão avassaladora e o senso de aventura adquiridos com o relacionamento com Annik, sem condições de abrir mão de seu casamento mas sem pensar em cogitar o fim de seu caso com a estrangeira, Ian Curtis sofre uma lenta degradação física e psicológica que só aumenta com a pressão do sucesso do Joy Division. Para piorar o caldo de vez, Curtis descobre sofrer de epilepsia, e as crises surgem sem qualquer aviso, a qualquer momento — inclusive durante as apresentações ao vivo da banda.</p>
<p>Acuado, nada mais resta a Ian Curtis senão a saída mais covarde, através de uma corda no pescoço, em Maio de 1980, apenas dois dias antes de o Joy Division enfrentar seu maior desafio até então: uma turnê milionária pela terra do Tio Sam.</p>
<p>A trajetória de Ian Curtis, por si só, já fornece material suficiente para um filme bem maduro — tanto que a direção de Corbijn (responsável por clipes de bandas como U2, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Depeche Mode, entre outros) não se prende a pormenores, como por exemplo, uma citação qualquer ao New Order, fenômeno <em>pop</em> dos anos 80 cuja formação é o Joy Division sem seu vocalista, ou aos outros marcos do <em>punk-rock</em> que fizeram parte do movimento Madchester ao lado da banda de Curtis. <em>Control</em> começa rápido e termina rápido, mesmo com uma metragem superior a duas horas (exatamente 122 minutos de projeção); a fita é tão dinâmica e pagmática que parece ser bem mais curta do que realmente é.</p>
<p>Os méritos do longa devem-se quase exclusivamente a Sam Riley (que viveu o vocalista do The Fall em outro filme sobre Manchester, <em>A Festa Nunca Termina</em>), sensacional na pele de Ian Curtis. Se você buscar qualquer vídeo das interpretações do Joy Division, notará no ato que Curtis praticamente desceu no corpo do sujeito; como se não bastasse, as canções presentes no filme foram interpretadas MESMO pelo próprio elenco que vive a formação do grupo. <em>Hits</em> como <em>Digital</em>, <em>Transmission</em>, <em>Disorder</em> (na ótima e lendária seqüência do quebra-quebra na Factory), <em>Dead Souls</em>, <em>She’s Lost Control</em> (canção que inspirou o título da fita) e <em>Candidate</em> explodem na tela em interpretações tão vivas e perfeitas que não devem nada a qualquer registro do verdadeiro Curtis em celulóide. A escolha do protagonista é nada menos que PERFEITA.</p>
<p>Curiosamente, as duas canções mais conhecidas da banda, <em>Love Will Tear Us Apart</em> e <em>Atmosphere</em> (que obviamente encerra o longa), dão as caras pelo próprio Joy Division.</p>
<p>No mais, o que sobra é um excelente trabalho de direção e de atuação, que não se preocupa em justificar ações, somente em homenagear com justiça a memória de uma das lendas mais permanentes da história do <em>rock</em> inglês. E se você é fã de carteirinha do gênero, como este que vos fala, vai ser fácil gostar desse negócio aqui! Enquanto isso, no Brasil, a gente agüenta os “créus” da vida… imagine que legal se os nossos queridos executivos de estúdio tupiniquins resolvem filmar a trajetória de “gênios” da nossa música como Armandinho, MC Créu, NX Zero… Ok, alguém por favor me empreste uma CORDA. Pode deixar que o nó eu mesmo faço, só pra garantir.</p>
<p>Em tempo: repare na versão que os caras do The Killers gravaram para <em>Shadowplay</em>, que rola durante os créditos finais. É o Joy Division todo em sua essência. Deu até vontade de chorar.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Zum 30 jährigen Jubiläum einer meiner allerliebsten Songs verneige ich mich vor dem  Sänger und Band]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Zum 30 jährigen Jubiläum einer meiner allerliebsten Songs verneige ich mich vor <img class="alignright" src="http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/_/29264791/Ian+Curtis+ian_curtis.jpg" alt="" width="245" height="382" />dem  Sänger und Bandgründer Ian Curtis, dessen Band Joy Division mich lange Zeit auf dem Weg des Erwachsenwerdens begleitet hat. Leider hin und wieder auch begleitet von seinen Dummheiten.</p>
<p>Ian Curtis wurde 1956 in Manchester geboren.  Schon sehr früh kam er mit Drogen in Verbindung und  schluckte vor allem Valium in riesigen Mengen. Daher auch seine Epilepsie, mit der er auch sein kurzes Leben lang zu kämpfen hatte. Bereits als Jugendlicher hatte Curtis die Wahnvorstellung, noch vor seinem 30 Lebensjahr das Licht der Welt wieder zu verlassen, ähnlich seinem Idol Van Morrison. 1976 gründete er die Band  Joy Division. 1979 schrieb  Curtis den Song &#8220;Love will tear us apart&#8221;. Veröffentlicht wurde er kurz vor Curtis tragischem Selbstmord 1980.  Der Song sollte einerseits eine Antwort auf den Grammy-Gewinner-Hit <em>Love Will Keep Us Together</em> von Captain &#38; Tennille von 1975 sein,  aber gleichzeitig auch eine Art  Bechreibung  der Beziehungsprobleme, die  Curtis mit seiner Frau Deborah hatte.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/4yTIpcwBTTs&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/4yTIpcwBTTs&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>Love will tear us apart war auch der Satz, den seine Frau auf den Grabstein <img class="alignright" src="http://images.zeit.de/bilder/2008/02/bildergalerien/galerien/bg-ruge/01.jpg" alt="" width="380" height="380" />von Ian Curtis schreiben lies.  Der Grabstein wurde Juli 2008 gestohlen.</p>
<p><strong>Joy Division</strong> fand sich zuerst unter dem Namen Warsaw zusammen. Der Name war eine Inspiration des Songs Warzawa von David Bowie 1977. Die Idee, eine Band zu gründen, fand während einem Sex Pistol Konzertes in Manchester statt.  Der spätere Name <em>Joy Division</em> leitete sich von einer angeblichen Prostituierten-Riege der deutschen Wehrmacht ab, die im Roman <em>The House of Dolls</em> des ehemaligen KZ-Häftl ings Yehiel Festil  beschrieben wird. Auch aufgrund ihres Kleidungsstils im Stil der 30er Jahre mußte sich die Band immer wieder gegen Nazi-Vorwürfe wehren.   Joy Division waren eine der wichtigsten Bands der Post Punk-Bewegung . Nach dem Selbstmort Curtis´ gründeten die drei verbliebenen Mitglieder 1980 die Band New Order. New Order haben diesen Song wieder aufgenommen, ebenso U2, the Cure, Nouvelle Vague, Nick Cave und viele viele mehr. An das Original kommt leider keine dieser Versionen heran.</p>
<p>2007 wurdeDas Leben von Curtis verfilmt. &#8221; Control&#8221; war das Regiedebut des Rockfotografen Anton Corbijn.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/qrFKu3xwTlQ&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/qrFKu3xwTlQ&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#00ccff;">Love will tear us apart</span></p>
<div id="content" style="float:none;clear:both;font-size:15px;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;text-align:center;" lang="en"><span style="color:#00ccff;">When the routine bites hard<br />
And ambitions are low<br />
And the resentment rides high<br />
But emotions wont grow<br />
And were changing our ways,<br />
Taking different roads<br />
Then love, love will tear us apart again</p>
<p>Why is the bedroom so cold<br />
Turned away on your side?<br />
Is my timing that flawed,<br />
Our respect run so dry?<br />
Yet theres still this appeal<br />
That weve kept through our lives<br />
Love, love will tear us apart again</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Do you cry out in your sleep<br />
All my failings expose?<br />
Get a taste in my mouth<br />
As desperation takes hold<br />
Is it something so good<br />
Just cant function no more?<br />
When love, love will tear us apart again</p>
<p></span></div>

<description><![CDATA[From the latest issue of Film &amp; Festivals magazine: For some successful feature film directors, ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>From the latest issue of <a href="http://www.filmandfestivals.com/" target="_blank">Film &#38; Festivals magazine</a>:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="bekindrewind" src="http://aprimiao.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/be-kind-rewind.jpg" alt="" width="443" height="353" /></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:small;">For some successful feature film directors,  the music video has provided a useful training ground. For creating  a mood, a visual signature or crafting a short, soundtracked story,  there is no better medium. The director doesn’t need to worry about  getting a script together, auditioning (let’s just use the band, that’s  what the fans want to look at) or even making much sense. Yet, if the  director does a good job, the video will play back in listeners’ minds  every time they catch a bit of the song – just think of Blur’s <em> Coffee &#38; TV</em> (1999), with that adorable little milk carton on  a mission to find the missing Graham Coxon. You see?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:small;">Working with an act that’s about to  become big – or is already there – can also introduce an existing  fan base to the director’s work. Cast your mind back to 1999 and Fatboy  Slim’s single, <em>Praise You</em>, the one with the amateur dance troupe  giving an impromptu show in an anonymous shopping mall. The song hit  number one in the UK charts, and the video, directed by (and featuring)  then-rising star Spike Jonze, deserved its three MTV Video Music Awards,  and made its director hugely famous. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:small;">The added advantage of making a music  video is that it can really help the director to get noticed by powerful  people, for instance, when Drew Barrymore scouted out McG to direct <em> Charlie’s Angels</em> (2000). Similarly, Björk’s admiration of Michel  Gondry’s videos for his formed-in-school band, Oui Oui, led him on  the path to the successful career he now enjoys. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:small;">Here’s a look at five directors have  made the leap from music videos to feature films:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:small;"><!--more--></span></p>
<h1><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:small;"><strong>Michel Gondry</strong></span></h1>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:small;">Michel Gondry’s strength lies in his  quirky visuals, and his beginnings in making videos for equally oddball  Björk gave him ample opportunity to experiment. His video for her first  solo single, 1993’s <em>Human Behaviour</em> (</span><a href="http://bit.ly/DiXPk" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#0000ff;font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">http://bit.ly/DiXPk</span></span></a><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:small;">), includes animated cuddly animals, clouds that  look as though they’re made out of cotton wool and sudden moves between  settings that are reminiscent of dreams. His three most famous feature  films, <em>Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind</em> (2004), <em>The Science  of Sleep</em> (2006) and <em>Be Kind Rewind</em> (2008), share this kind  of hand-crafted look. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:small;">Some of Gondry’s other videos utilise  effects that he is clearly fond of, as they crop up in his later, longer  work. The video for Wyclef Jean’s ‘Another One Bites the Dust’  (1998; </span><a href="http://bit.ly/cr2wV" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#0000ff;font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">http://bit.ly/cr2wV</span></span></a><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:small;">) has a live-action cartoon feel, with Jean carrying  around and singing to a model of Freddy Mercury, and a car that is much  bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. All three of Gondry’s  features have similarly cute props and sets. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:small;">His films show that he is also fond of  playing with impossible scenarios, such as doubles of characters popping  up, and this effect can be seen in Kylie Minogue’s <em>Come into my  World</em> (2002; </span><a href="http://bit.ly/11z44o" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#0000ff;font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">http://bit.ly/11z44o</span></span></a><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:small;">) and The White Stripes’ <em>The Hardest Button  to Button</em> (2003; </span><a href="http://bit.ly/nEUqU" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#0000ff;font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">http://bit.ly/nEUqU</span></span></a><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:small;">). Only music videos could have given Gondry  the freedom to experiment with his visual language, without worrying  about a storyline. In much of his feature work, he has left that side  of things down to writer/producer Charlie Kaufman. </span></p>
<h1><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:small;"><strong>Spike Jonze</strong></span></h1>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:small;">Like Gondry, Spike Jonze is also a Kaufman  collaborator, and worked with Björk and Daft Punk, who seem to embrace  unusual, memorable video-making. Jonze’s video for Björk’s 1995  single, <em>It’s Oh So Quiet</em> (</span><a href="http://bit.ly/sr9NN" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#0000ff;font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">http://bit.ly/sr9NN</span></span></a><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:small;">), reached number four in the UK and, thanks  to continuous play of the video on MTV, hit number nine in the US charts.  The video features surreal elements, such as Björk dancing with a post  box, and then floating up into the sky towards the camera at the end,  clearly signposting his interest in pushing the boundaries of realism,  which can also be seen in <em>Being John Malkovich</em> (1999) and <em> Adaptation</em> (2002). </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:small;">Jonze’s music videos also display a  delight in choreography – Björk makes her way through town dancing  with anyone she meets in the up tempo sections of <em>Quiet</em>; Fatboy  Slim’s <em>Praise You</em> even has Jonze leading the dance troupe himself;  and of course Fatboy Slim single, <em>Weapon of Choice</em> (2001; </span><a href="http://bit.ly/10uonN" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#0000ff;font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">http://bit.ly/10uonN</span></span></a><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:small;">), featuring the extraordinary dancing talents  of Christopher Walken, which won a Grammy for Best Short Form Video.  Sadly, dancing hasn’t really come up in his films that much – maybe  there’ll be some room for it in his next project, an adaptation of  Maurice Sendak’s children’s book, <em>Where the Wild Things Are</em> (to be released later this year; </span><a href="http://bit.ly/AoMRr" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#0000ff;font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">http://bit.ly/AoMRr</span></span></a><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:small;">)?</span></p>
<h1><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:small;"><strong>Anton Corbijn</strong></span></h1>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:small;">Anton Corbijn started out as a music  photographer in 1976, and his photos of Dutch music sensation Herman  Brood helped propel both men towards fame. The photography garnered  Corbijn an invite to start making music videos in 1983, and the stylised  cinematography that defines the look of his feature film, <em>Control</em> (2007) can be seen in much of his work. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:small;">Corbijn’s videos for Nirvana’s <em> Heart-Shaped Box</em> (1993; </span><a href="http://bit.ly/EzJPg" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#0000ff;font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">http://bit.ly/EzJPg</span></span></a><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:small;">) and Mercury Rev’s <em>Goddess on a Highway</em> (1998; </span><a href="http://bit.ly/UWm8Z" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#0000ff;font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">http://bit.ly/UWm8Z</span></span></a><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:small;">) show his photographer’s eye for setting the  scene. In <em>Box</em>, a wizened Father Christmas climbs onto a cross  and becomes Jesus, while Nirvana rock out under a discordant, vivid  orange sky, the visual equivalent of their music. In <em>Goddess</em>,  the video starts out sepia-toned, muted, but colour is suddenly introduced  with the appearance of the gold-painted miniature Statues of Liberty  as the chase gets underway. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:small;">Earlier than these videos, back in the  ‘80s, Corbijn directed the video for Joy Division’s single, <em>Atmosphere</em> (1988; </span><a href="http://bit.ly/dUlcF" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#0000ff;font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">http://bit.ly/dUlcF</span></span></a><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:small;">), eight years after Ian Curtis’ death. The  video is shot in black and white – like <em>Control</em> – set in  bleak, slightly frightening landscapes peopled by strange people in  hooded garments. He uses stills of Ian Curtis and the band, and the  whole unsettling effect fits well with the typically downbeat, deep  vocals of Curtis. This video, more than any other in Corbijn’s impressive  back catalogue, is the stylistic precursor to <em>Control. </em></span></p>
<h1><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:small;"><strong>David Fincher</strong></span></h1>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:small;">David Fincher eschewed film school, instead  starting out loading cameras and then working on the sets of two of  the <em>Indiana Jones</em> movies. As befitting the director of <em>Se7en</em> (1995), <em>Fight Club</em> (1999) and <em>The Curious Case of Benjamin  Button </em>(2008), his music videos are often dramatic and strikingly  lit. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:small;">Two of his videos for Madonna, <em>Vogue</em> (1990; </span><a href="http://bit.ly/fxsM2" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#0000ff;font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">http://bit.ly/fxsM2</span></span></a><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:small;">) and <em>Express Yourself</em> (1989; </span><a href="http://bit.ly/12evaK" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#0000ff;font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">http://bit.ly/12evaK</span></span></a><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:small;">) have a film noir look, with the former shot  in stark black and white, and the latter featuring blue neon lighting  and Madonna made up to look like a ‘40s femme fatale. Similarly, his  video for Aerosmith’s <em>Janie’s Got a Gun</em> (1989; </span><a href="http://bit.ly/QxkRy" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#0000ff;font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">http://bit.ly/QxkRy</span></span></a><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:small;">) opens with a crime scene (shades of <em>Se7en)</em> and the drama is enhanced by the black and white filming of Steven Tyler  singing, lit up by rays of blinding white light. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:small;">Lighting and silhouette also dominates  the video for George Michael’s <em>Freedom  ‘90</em> (1990; </span><a href="http://bit.ly/nKuWV" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#0000ff;font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">http://bit.ly/nKuWV</span></span></a><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:small;">), wherein various supermodels lip-sync to his  voice and writhe around in darkened rooms illuminated by blue neon light  coming through the window, a device that induces a feeling of claustrophobia,  and proves useful in <em>Fight Club</em>. </span></p>
<h1><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:small;"><strong>Hammer &#38; Tongs</strong></span></h1>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:small;">This UK duo consists of director Garth  Jennings and producer Nick Goldsmith, who began making music videos  in the mid-90s, and now have two feature films to their name, <em>The  Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy</em> (2005) and <em>Son of Rambow</em> (2007). </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:small;">Their most memorable work would have  to be the video for Blur’s 1998 single, <em>Coffee &#38; TV </em> (</span><a href="http://bit.ly/3XGdd" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#0000ff;font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">http://bit.ly/3XGdd</span></span></a><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:small;">), which follows a milk carton (‘Milky’,  who was sold at auction in 1999) who sets off on a mission to find the  missing Graham Coxon, and, on the way, encounters love, death and heaven.  The milk carton puppet was made by Jim Henson’s Creature Shop, and  his facial features and epic journey give a narrative backbone to an  otherwise nice but repetitive song. Dealing with puppets and other such  props would crop up again in <em>Hitchhiker’s</em>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:small;">The twosome’s video for Travis’s <em> Driftwood</em> (1999; </span><a href="http://bit.ly/wbHIO" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#0000ff;font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">http://bit.ly/wbHIO</span></span></a><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:small;">) fits the gentle, nostalgic song perfectly,  with a dreamy rendition of a school photo in progress. From watching  this video, it is unsurprising to find that that Hammer &#38; Tongs’s  second feature, <em>Son of Rambow</em>, which draws heavily upon their  ‘80s childhoods, was postponed by the offer of <em>Hitchhiker’s</em>;  it was the film that they had wanted to make first. That feeling of  longing to recreate the past permeates the <em>Driftwood</em> video; they  only had to wait eight years to use that in a feature film, but they  got there in the end. </span></p>

<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Nie chcę Cię częstować śmiercią, życie piękniejsze jest niż śmierć&#8221;. Tak swego czasu śp]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;"><img class="alignright" title="Control" src="http://best.ae.wroc.pl/joomla/images/stories/recenzje/control.jpg" alt="" width="200" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><em>&#8220;Nie chcę Cię częstować śmiercią, życie piękniejsze jest niż śmierć&#8221;</em>. Tak swego czasu śpiewał Grabaż z Pidżamy Porno. Do nas wciąż jednak zdaje się bardziej przemawiać <em>&#8220;Żyj szybko, umieraj młodo, pozostaw po sobie atrakcyjne zwłoki&#8221;</em> oraz historie o takich &#8220;młodych trupach&#8221;. Takich jak Ian Curtis, wokalista Joy Division.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Trudno jest pisać recenzję filmu <em>&#8220;Control&#8221;</em>. Z jednej strony jest on dość przewidywalny, kilka scen to wręcz kalki sprawdzonych w tysiącach produkcji patentów. Ale z drugiej to aktorstwo! Samanthę Morton, która zagrała tu żonę Curtisa, wielbię już od dawna za autentyzm i emocjonalność, natomiast debiutant Sam Riley zaskakuje prfesjonalizmem, doskonale prezentuje charyzmę bohatera, a w scenach z koncertów zachowuje się zupełnie jak Ian!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I tu jest kolejny kłopot, bo oto najistotniejszym elementem filmu jest właśnie Curtis-Riley. Ale cóż z niego za wzór: kiepski ojciec i mąż, zdradzający swoją żonę. Człowiek, który w młodości popełnił błędy i pokutował je do końca swego życia (czyli właściwie dośc niedługo). Który popełnił samobójstwo w wieku 24 lat u szczytu swojej kariery. Ale też normalny chłopak, przykładny pracownik urzędu pracy, który niewiarygodnie dużo dawał z siebie podczas elektryzujących koncertów, który marzył o lepszym i szczęśliwym życiu, próbujący pogodzić życie osobiste z wyjazdami w trasy, zmagający się z postępującą epilepsją. Wszystkie te sprzeczności składają się na postać fascynującą, bo i tajemniczą. Już same jego zdjęcia wywołują emocje.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Najważniejsza w filmie Antona Corbijna, fotografa i reżysera wideoklipów, jest forma. Surowy czarnobiały film i duże ziarno doskonale współgrają z psychodeliczną muzyką <em>&#8220;zimnej fali&#8221;</em> i tekstami Curtisa. To świetne zbliżenie filmu do teledysków rekompensuje pewne braki w scenariuszu. I sprawia, że Control pamiętamy jeszcze długo po seansie, a w naszych odtwarzaczach wciąż tkwi, odkryta na nowo lub po prostu odkryta, płyta Joy Division.</p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><strong>&#8220;Control&#8221;, reż. Anton Corbijn</strong></p>
