“he wrote poetry until he went nuts!”
i was shown this beautiful roy andersson film by a friend quite a few years ago, but the imagery—the sheer and unidentifiable essence of it, has been stuck inside my conscious ever since. captivating is an understatement for andersson’s epic tale, and i have chills just thinking about some of the scenes and the perfect usage of vallejo’s poetical themes. the title of this very post is from my favorite storyline. you may hate the film, as i have shown it to many who felt just that way, but it is undoubtedly memorable and unique. what’s left but that nowadays? just being different. whatever happened to the quintessence of individuality? the film is the first in an unfinished trilogy of magic. i am certainly going home to watch this tonight, and you should make it your business to do the same. thank you, mr. andersson. by sv

searching for sugar man: an unbelievable story
searching for sugar man
this is a documentary about an artist called rodriguez. rodriguez released two albums that totally flopped in america, but somehow they became a huge success in south africa, without rodriguez ever knowing it. in south africa he became bigger than elvis, he became an icon. everyone thought that rodriguez had commited suicide, there were many stories of how he had done it. so two journalists decided to find out how he really died. but they weren’t expecting to find him alive and to help him unite him with his south african fans so that he could finally have a real concert. for 30 years rodriguez was living in detroit without knowing that he was a superstar on the other side of the world. it’s just a must see this documentary, it’s called searching for sugar man. by wn

junkopia
in memory of the tremendous paragon of cinema, words and social commentary chris marker, here is his illustrious ‘junkopia’ shot while filming the vertigo shots of ‘sans soleil’ …if you ask me he looks like a relatively normal john waters, at least in this shot. marker is one of my favorites, transcending the invisible lines created by our minds, and forcing you to use all of your senses. love. by sv
