l’odyssée de cartier, the elaborately conceived film by bruno aveillan, is a fantasy trip where the cartier panther comes to life and travels the globe. cleverly, he makes key strategic stops along the way, in the sales-rich developing markets like china and india; undoubtedly guaranteeing a consistent flow of sales from these new wealth customers.
nicely imagined and shot as only bruno aveillan could. my only criticism is that the obvious pander could have been a bit more artful. by uh
our dear friends at thereasfour really did it this time. i’m simply amazed at why these guys are not as huge as say, alexander mcqueen? the designs are incredibly structural and detailed; they translate fractal geometry into intricate fabrics. i must say, this is my favorite collection from them to date and they seem to get better and better. i wish i could wear some of these dresses myself! the beautiful music is by mike stroud / RATATAT, cinematography by brian gonzalez and 3D animation and visual effects editing by alex czetwertynski. a nice package overall, great work guys. by dd

here’s the trailer from abel ferrara’s 1981 exploitation film about a beautiful mute girl, and the tumultuous events surrounding her over the course of a few days in the pre-Giuliani-sex-ridden new york city. starring the late zoe tamerlis-lund, she gives a hilariously awkward and sexy performance. ferrara can be a bit too gritty for me sometimes, but having the pleasure of seeing this over the weekend with great company was certainly a night of joy. by sv
chris bell hailed from memphis and was (mostly) the brainchild behind the amazing-yet-not-necessarily-appreciated rock group, big star. bell left the band for a number of reasons: heroin addiction, depression, and that undeniably plaguing issue of feeling overshadowed. this song, not released on an album until 1992 years after bell’s accidental death (he is in fact a member of the infamous 27 club), has been haunting me since i watched the big star documentary a few months ago. i knew the song from a cover (which it pains me to admit) by pete yorn and scarlett johansson; but hearing the words in bell’s enchanting voice, how it’s meant to be heard, is simply magical. to be honest, the documentary itself leaves something to be desired; it left me confused about the band’s stature not only as musicians but as human beings. perhaps it was the documenter’s vision to make these men seem unlikeable, although judging from the title i truthfully don’t know. with that said, chris bell was a truly extraordinary songwriter, and i will listen to this for years to come. what a mantra; to recite that you ARE indeed the COSMOS–i can’t possibly think of anything more encapsulating. by sv
