Elmyr de Hory
ask me what i consider to be the ultimate art work of the past two centuries, and I have to say it’s “f is for fake” by orson welles. like all great art works, you have to know the life and history of the artist to understand his/her created language. and if you do, you can not stand un-baffled by the graceful emergence of topics in this fictional documentary. this man is perhaps the GOD who blessed godard as his apprentice and servant. amazing work. thanks to my ultimate idol and teacher mr. george porcari. many years ago, i discovered this film and the twisted, fascinating, ironic story of elmyr de hory, howard hughes/citizen kane, picasso, amedeo modigliani, ibiza, and art in general all in one. it stayed with me through the years, and seeing it again for the third time tonight just confirmed its genius. maybe some one else will appreciate it as much today as i did 18 years ago…. thank you george! by pp
Ozu late spring
it’s slow, calm, private, intimate, and can I even say… sweet? as they say, he’s indeed a majestic mountain in the history of cinema. for a man who remained alone and single all his life, it’s beautiful how he tells the story of a father and daughter in post-war Japan under US occupation and in the midst of modernization. the kyoto sequence at the end, and the daughters speech seem so ancient and almost sappy in any context; yet in ozu’s hands, it just works like a charm. by dd

Pattie Boyd in Ossie Clark
swingin’ sixties with liz taylor, ossie clark, john lennon, pattie boyd, richard burton, and george harrison. i wanted to say something funny but pp has banned that! so that’s it. by dd
Tuxedomoon – Winston Tong
winston tongs’ lyrics for the original version of Tuxedomoon album remain wonderful after all those years and even after the easy listening cover by Nouvelle Vague. by dd
Donna Jordan and Karl lagerfeld in Andy warhol
Karl before his 6 million dollar man job. He actually moved like a human back then. Talented fella when it comes to fashion but gotta keep that day job. by dd
Rockers Rock
forget style.com, these guys were the coolest outfitters of them all– and of course an all time great film to see if you haven’t. a complete time capsule, impossible to recreate! rasta rule. by dd
Then there was, of course, bob
wondering how to go mass and stay with it? here’s a lesson to be learned. can’t think of any artist or brand that became this mass and yet managed to stay honest… by dd
Mick jagger may be great, but he’s no Klaus Kinski
here’s one master outdoing another. this is why klaus is worth the hell herzog went through, i mean the man is an alien but a goddamn super star of an alien. fitzcarraldo, who can top that? you know, the europeans did my favorite films but the actors were always irrelevant. here’s one you can’t ever replace. vaya con dios klaus! by dd
