Sweet Bird of Youth (1962) , Richard Brooks

Paul Newman recreates his Broadway role in the 1962 film version of Tennessee Williams' Sweet Bird of Youth. Newman plays handsome hustler Chance Wayne, who romances fading film star Alexandra Del Lago (Geraldine Page) in hopes of winning a movie contract for himself. The mercenary Wayne and the self-destructive Alexandra find themselves in Chance's home town, where corrupt politician Boss Finley (Oscar-winner Ed Begley) rules the roost.

Fuzz – Live in San Francisco EP (2013)

... Sabbath Bloody Sabbath ...
The second installment in Castle Face Records’ Live in San Francisco series captures Fuzz not only at the height of their wizardlike powers but also on Ty’s birthday at notorious leather-daddy/rock and roll bar The SF Eagle.
The show was apparently packed, and the stoner trio’s set is said to have had Segall “wailing through a guitar amp and dominating drums like it’s the easiest thing in the world. A press release notes that the four songs being preserved on the platter, due December 3, wooly and mammoth, rendered in a blistering fashion for your pleasures.”
Like the White Fence release, the show was “captured hot to tape and mixed and massaged” by Chris Woodhouse, Eric Bauer, Bob Marshall and Thee Oh Sees’ John Dwyer.

Ancient Sky – All Get Out (2013)

... Sabotage ...
Wharf Cat Records in Greenpoint, NY just released the third album from seething psychedelic wizards ANCIENT SKY. A follow-up to their Castle 7″ from earlier this year, All Get Out is a tripped-out journey through over 40 minutes of cloudy, folk-informed space rock.Brooklyn psych-rockers Ancient Sky have just released their third record, but still no one pays too much attention. 

Seča šume - Tomas Bernhard

„Ono što neki rade s notama, ja radim s rečima. U suštini me ništa drugo ne zanima.“, rekao je Bernhard.

TVRĐAVA SAMOĆE Džonatan Letem

„Fenomenalna knjiga s ritmom Skorsezea i Spajka Lija, živopisnom maštom The Funkadelica, iz pera rođenog pripovedača... Možda bi autor više voleo poređenje s ljupkim Alom Grinom ili grčevitim, ćoškastim Talking Headsima. U svakom slučaju, sići ćete do reke...“ Uncut

„Ovo je bolna, prelepa, hrabra, poetska knjiga... koju će veliki broj ljudi voleti, braniti i iznova iščitavati.“ Nik Hornbi

„Roman Džonatana Letema je najbolji roman o Njujorku u poslednjih deset ili petnaest godina, s besprekorno dočaranim rasnim odnosima, i o soul muzici sedamdesetih i osamdesetih. Jedan od američkih romana koje ove godine ne smete da propustite.“ Rik Mudi, Daily Telegraph

„Bez premca knjiga godine, možda čak i poslednjih pet... Bolja od filma, bolja od simfonije, bolja od pozorišnog komada, bolja od slikarskog remek-dela – jer je sve istovremeno.“ Austine Chronicle

Marika Hackman – Sugar Blind [EP] (2013)


David and Lisa (1962), Frank Perry

This stark and spare look at the world of the mentally disturbed was one of the beacons of the new American independent film movement. Keir Dullea and Janet Margolin star as two adolescents who make contact with each other in a home for disturbed youngsters.

Strangers When We Meet (1960) , Richard Quine

Sexual misconduct in white-collar suburbia is the topic of this routine melodrama involving two neighboring couples. Architect Larry Coe (Kirk Douglas), unhappy with his wife Eve's (Barbara Rush) fixation on their bank balance, starts taking an interest in Maggie Gault (Kim Novak), whose husband has been losing interest in her. The two steal several illicit moments together, but this activity has not gone unnoticed. Good ol' neighbor Felix (Walter Matthau) figures that Eve might be feeling a little neglected, so he decides to move into the picture. Richard Quine's direction is an asset to an otherwise clichéd tale.

Butterfield 8 (1960) , Daniel Mann

A woman who has long been short on feelings falls in love with a married man in this emotional drama. Gloria Wondrous (Elizabeth Taylor) is a model and party girl who lives for pleasure and is willing to take men for what she can get from them. Gloria bounces from man to man, but feels that she can only truly confide in Steve Carpenter (Eddie Fisher), a longtime friend with whom she shares a close but strictly platonic relationship, though his fiancée (Susan Oliver) suspects otherwise.

Israel Nash Gripka – Israel Nash’s Rain Plans (2013)

Israel Nash Gripka has now signed to Loose Music and is commencing the next chapter of his career. The forthcoming album Rain Plans was inspired by Israel's new home outside Austin, deep in Texas hill country. The young songwriter has fully embraced the meandering hills and endless skies of his Texas home, where you can find yourself so isolated that it is not uncommon for your path to be crossed by a tumbleweed or to hear the percussive warning of an agitated rattlesnake.

Kira's Reason: A Love Story (2001)

Ole Christian Madsen follows up on his debut Pizza King with this Dogma 95 approved character study of a woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown. At the film's outset, Mads (Lars Mikkelsen) dumps his girlfriend and picks up his wife at the local mental asylum. Upon being cast out of the peace and quiet of the institution, Mads' wife Kira (Stine Stengade) is noticeably agitated about being out in the real world.

Mark Eitzel - The Eitzel Ordeal - The Konk Sessions (2013)


The Incident (1967) , Larry Peerce

Compulsion (1959) , Richard Fleischer

Compulsion is a compelling, stylish thriller, loosely based on the famous 1924 murder trial of thrill-killers Loeb and Leopold, two homosexual students who murdered a young boy to demonstrate their intellectual superiority. Artie Straus (Bradford Dillman) is a sadistic, mother-dominated bully. Judd Steiner (Dean Stockwell) is a submissive, introverted sissy. Having been raised by wealthy, arrogant families, both Artie and Judd consider themselves above conventional morality. Unfeeling and conceited, the boys, after the killing, take delight in offering to aid in finding the culprits.

Lily&Madeleine - Lily&Madeleine(2013)

Human Desire (1954) , Fritz Lang

Carl Buckley (Broderick Crawford) needs the intervention of his beautiful wife Vicki (Gloria Grahame) to keep his job, so Vicki meets with Carl's boss Owens (Grandon Rhodes), and Carl's job is secure.

Vicki persuades Jeff to kill Carl, but at the last minute Jeff relents, taking on the letter which Carl has used to blackmail Vicki with.

Directed by Fritz Lang), Human Desire an updated remake of Jean Renoir's adaptation of Emile Zola's novel, La Bete Humaine, is a grim sordid story in which desperate people try to relieve their desolate lives with cheap pleasures. Gloria Grahame is perversely alluring as the sexually driven Vicki and Broderick Crawford evokes some empathy as the obsessed Carl.

Kevin Morby – Harlem River (2013)

... Album of the month ...

Fear not: the Babies frontman Kevin Morby has you covered with his first solo LP, “Harlem River.” A mix of smooth jazz and low-test 70s rock, there are no sudden movements on the album. At no point does “Wild Side” separate into minimalist electro-punk—though it does drop a Seuss-ism or two in its chorus. Even “Reign,” the album’s so-called murder ballad, is kind of precious. On it, Morby inverts “Amazing Grace” over a Western swing rhythm: “Ain’t no God to save a wretch like me.”Despite Morby’s relative youth, his solo debut is deeply nostalgic. Morby’s focus isn’t on reforming but retracing genres of old, trusting his songwriting hand to make the difference.

Josh Tillman – The History of Caves (2013)

Most artists take a well-deserved break after so much work, but not Tillman. Instead, he began his most ambitious project yet: composing and recording a score for the short film The History of Caveswhich was written and directed by his wife, Emma. It’s a no-budget horror flick (guised as an indie drama) that tells the story of a promiscuous father and his suspicious children, who invoke witchcraft to get rid of the young women who keep sleeping with their dad.

Feral & Stray - all the birds in the world (live)


The Servant (1963) , Joseph Losey

Wealthy wastrel James Fox hires insouciant cockney Dirk Bogarde as a valet. No sooner has he donned his working clothes than Bogarde begins exercising a subtle but insidious control over his master. Suggesting that the house could use a little fixing up, Bogarde convinces Fox to spend a whopping amount of money on it. But this is just a warm-up session for Bogarde, who by mid-film is calling all the shots in the Fox household, all the while pretending to keep his place. Fox's fiance Wendy Craig sees through Bogarde's game. Bogarde then brings his own lady friend Sarah Miles into the house. At Bogarde's insistence, Miles seduces Fox, thereby loosening Craig's hold on the confused young man. And so it goes. The homosexual subtext of The Servant disturbed some of the more hidebound critics of 1963; Harold Pinter based his cryptic screenplay on a novel by Robin Maugham.

A Letter to Three Wives (1949) , Joseph L. Mankiewicz

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Higgs Boson Blues



...Oh let the damn day break
The rainy days always make me sad
Miley Cyrus floats in a swimming pool in Toluca Lake
And you're the best girl I've ever had
Can't remember anything at all ...

Le Corbeau (1943) , Henri-Georges Clouzot

A small French village is plagued by a poison-pen writer, whose principal target is Doctor Germain (Pierre Fresnay). The vitriolic letters wreak so much havoc that soon neighbor turns upon neighbor. Eventually, even the doctor himself becomes one of the suspects, as the townspeople are driven to commit paranoia-fueled crimes and suicides. The actual culprit is revealed to be one of the least likely candidates. Though it can now be seen to be a subliminal indictment of the paranoia fomented by the Nazi occupation of France, Le Corbeau (aka The Raven) was condemned as unpatriotic after the liberation, and director Henri-Georges Clouzot was banned from filmmaking until 1947. Based on a story by Clouzot and Louis Chavance, Le Corbeau was remade in Hollywood by Otto Preminger as The 13th Letter (1951).

The Blue Gardenia (1953) , Fritz Lang

After learning that her boyfriend, a GI in Korea, has found someone else, Norah Larkin (Anne Baxter) impulsively agrees to meet womanizer Harry Prebble (Raymond Burr) for dinner. Norah allows herself to get drunk and accept Prebble's invitation to his apartment. When he tries to force himself on her, she hits him with a poker. Unfortunately, Prebble is found dead the next morning, and Norah, not even remembering how she got home, thinks that she killed him. Meanwhile, newspaperman Casey Mayo (Richard Conte), looking for an angle, invites the "Blue Gardenia Murderess" to turn herself in to him. The high point of the film is the interplay between the vulnerable Baxter and Burr at his smarmiest.

Trespassing Bergman (2013) , Jane Magnusson, Hynek Pallas

A group of renowned international filmmakers including Michael Haneke, Clair Denis, and Alejandro González Iñárritu explore the secluded house built by acclaimed Swedish director Ingmar Bergman on the island of Fårö in the Baltic Sea while reflecting on Bergman's rich cinematic legacy, and visiting the nearby locations seen in many of his most beloved films. Additional interviews with such luminaries as Martin Scorsese, Lars von Trier, Wes Anderson, Ang Lee, Zhang Yimou, Woody Allen, Francis Ford Coppola, Takeshi Kitano, Robert De Niro offer testament to Bergman's rich vision, and enduring impact in the world of film. 

Hangmen Also Die! (1943), Fritz Lang


Glen Hansard - Drive All Night EP (2013)

Le passé (Asghar Farhadi, 2013)

Le Passé is neither a morality tale, nor a political allegory, nor a philosophical exposé. In the realm of conventional cinema, a film functions like Horace’s sugar-coated pill: it instructs as it entertains. A conventional film shows life with certain elements imposed on it, so that we can deduce an ultimate ‘essence’, a ‘meaning’. Le Passé only confuses: it casts us into the extremely complicated lives of a group of people surrounding Marie (Bérénice Béjo), an employee of a Parisian pharmacy, and then abandons us there. It has no essence, no meaning, just like life, pure and simple
Farhadi has designed Le Passé so that we are led to roam endlessly in it. It would be naïve to imagine the film as a didactic attempt to persuade us against judging others or to prove to us that morality is relative.

James Vincent McMorrow – Post Tropical (2014)

Nils Frahm – Spaces (2013)

... Album of the month za Diskurs Xernia month ...

Nils Frahm straddles a few musical worlds. The Berlin artist has released star-gazing synth epics ("For"), intimate solo piano pieces (Screws) and plenty in between, and he does it all pretty well. His live show lays bare the sheer scope of his work: he's usually got at least three pianos, plus an array of synths and other gadgets. These performances often show the true breadth of his talent in a way his individual records can't. Spaces is here to fix that problem. It's a welcome compilation of live recordings from the past two years, collecting snapshots of him in different moods at different concerts. Over almost 80 minutes, we hear everything from climactic synth crescendoes to plaintive, whisper-quiet ballads. Spaces, in other words, is the wide-ranging sampler Frahm has needed all along.

Blackfish (Gabriela Cowperthwaite, 2013)

Killer whales at SeaWorld are looked at and the truth about their conditions and abuse are shown in the new documentary, BLACKFISH. Director Gabriela Cowperthwaite went inside SeaWorld to show how Orcas turn on their handlers and how the animals suffer from being shipped around the world and treated abusively.Shocking, never before seen footage and riveting interviews with trainers and experts manifest the orca's extraordinary nature, the species' cruel treatment in captivity over the last four decades and the growing disillusionment of workers who were misled and endangered by the highly profitable sea-park industry. This emotionally wrenching, tautly structured story challenges us to consider our relationship to nature and reveals how little we humans truly know about these highly intelligent, and surprisingly sentient, fellow mammals that we only think we can control.

Choice of Arms (Alain Corneau, 1981)

This French production concerns a gangster (Yves Montand) who retires to the countryside after living a full life of traditional crime. After settling into his new residence with his wife (Catherine Deneuve), his home is invaded by an unruly punk (Gerard Depardieu) who has some new-fangled ideas about the way crime should work.

Kristofer Åström – An Introduction To (2013)

Kristofer Åström has been around, both metaphorically and literally. His hardcore punk band Fireside was the first Swedish band to ever play the Lollapalooza Festival. In 1998, he was given a guitar, trust and studio time and has since released eight albums and several EPs under his own name. Spanning folk, country, pop and rock, these records explore both human relationships and, quoting his third album’s title, the condition of “northern blues”. Sometimes with Hidden Truck or The Rainaways next to his name, sometimes singing duets with musicians such as Britta Persson and Maria Taylor. Sometimes releasing two records within one year and sometimes disappearing for three years.

Blancanieves ( Pablo Berger, 2012)

It's too soon to declare a trend, but a silent film once again seems likely to become a success in the contemporary film world: "Blancanieves," a striking, visually stunning Spanish feature, written and directed by Pablo Berger.
Although the story draws on the Brothers Grimm and the legend of Snow White, it is anything but a children's movie. It is a full-bodied silent film of the sort that might have been made by the greatest directors of the 1920s, if such details as the kinky sadomasochism of this film's evil stepmother could have been slipped past the censors.
