The Deadly Affair (Sidney Lumet, 1966)

After Charles Dobbs, a security officer, has a friendly chat with Samuel Fennan from the Foreign Office, the man commits suicide. An anonymous typed letter had been received accusing Fennan of being a Communist during his days at Oxford and their chat while walking in the park was quite amiable. Senior officials want the whole thing swept under the rug and are pleased to leave it as a suicide. Dobbs isn't at all sure as there are a number of anomalies that simply can't be explained away. Dobbs is also having trouble at home with his errant wife, whom he very much loves, having frequent affairs. He's also pleased to see an old friend, Dieter Frey, who he recruited after the war. With the assistance of a colleague and a retired policeman, Dobbs tries to piece together just who is the spy and who in fact assassinated Fennan.

Iggy Pop - Apres

Iggy Pop - Après [2012]

For his 19th studio album, Iggy Pop will release an album of mostly French cover songs. The album is titled Après . This news shouldn’t come entirely as a shock, as it follows his 2009 English/French album, Préliminaires. Après literally translates to “after.” Most interestingly, the 10-track album will also include version of songs by the Beatles, Yoko Ono and Frank Sinatra, in addition to Serge Gainsbourg, Edith Piaf and more.

Savages

All the great post-punk bands are invoked on this all-girl four-piece's dark,
dramatic and devastating debut.

Savages, makes us dream of what it must have been like to have been around to hear, in real time, the debut releases by Public Image Ltd, Magazine, Siouxsie and the Banshees and Joy Division, to feel, as those incredible records hit the shops, that unearthly power and sense of a transmission from a satellite reality. They are an all-girl four-piece, barely together for a year with their debut gig as recent as January 2012, who remind you of that post-punk moment when a new kind of female musician emerged, a reminder of the feral energy and cerebral vigour that we first experienced via Siouxsie, the Slits et al. Not that they exploit the fact of their sex: if anything, the singer has the intensity of an Ian Curtis as much as anyone from the canon of female performers and she compels, like Curtis, without having to resort to anything obviously theatrical and pantomimic. It's all in the simplicity and the stare.

Angus Stone – Broken Brights (2012)

8 Women (2002), François Ozon

A gaggle of mothers, wives, daughters, maids, and mistresses gather for a holiday homecoming at their country mansion -- and end up having to solve a murder-mystery -- in this musical-comic homage to studio-era "women's pictures" from acclaimed French director François Ozon. Partly inspired by George Cukor's 1939 classic The Women, 8 Femmes stars Catherine Deneuve as Gaby, a high-society matron just returned to her country house to celebrate Christmas with her husband; mother Mamy (Danielle Darrieux); sister Augustine (Isabelle Huppert); and daughters Suzon (Virginie Ledoyen) and Catharine (Ludivine Sagnier). Not long after they all arrive, however, do they find the man of the house with a knife in his back, whereupon everyone becomes a suspect -- including maids Chanel (Firmine Richard) and Louise (Emmanuelle Béart). The mysterious arrival of Augustine's sister-in-law Pierrette (Fanny Ardant) only complicates matters, as the titular eight women find themselves snowed in by a fierce blizzard, forced to confront the matter of the lifeless husband -- and their long-standing secrets and resentments -- without the aid of the police. Following its immensely successful release in France in early 2002, 8 Women enjoyed much acclaim at the Berlin and Toronto Film Festivals.

Best Coast – The Only Place (2012)

Shekarchi (2010) ,Rafi Pitts

A man turns to violence after losing those he loves most in this taut drama from Iran. Ali (Rafi Pitts) is a reformed criminal who lives in a small flat in Tehran with his wife Sara (Mitra Hajjar) and their young daughter Saba (Saba Yaghoobi). While he's grateful for the chance to support his family honestly, Ali doesn't much care for his job as a night watchman or the noise and stress of city life; Ali heads off to the woods and clears his mind by hunting as often as he can. One day, Ali comes home from work to an empty apartment; he has no idea when his family has gone, and when they don't return, he goes to the police. After a long and frustrating wait, Ali learns that Sara was killed by stray gunfire during a skirmish between protesters and police, and Saba is missing and feared dead. Ali snaps and uses his hunting rifle to kill a pair of police officers; when the authorities give chase, Ali heads to the woods while the police try to find him in the forest he knows better than the city. Shekarchi (aka The Hunter) was an official selection at the 2010 Berlin international Film Festival.

Hauschka & Hilary Hahn – Silfra (2012)

Parlovr – Kook Soul (2012)

...Poslednji pozdrav iz Montreala...
Stepping off the banks and wading into the river of sonic possibility, Parlovr revive and imagine the old as new again. Anyone who has experienced a flood knows the disorienting nature of high water as it changes the surrounding landscape; the current carries things you recognize but are, in essence, ownerless. I have rolled up my pant-legs and searched for high ground to gain perspective on the rising rumble coming from the album, Kook Soul.

Dave Gerard & the Watchmen – I Climbed A Tree (2012)

Spain - I'm Still Free

Marriages – Kitsune (2012)

Given that all of their members work together in the similar-sounding post-rock outfit Red Sparowes, it’s hard to view Marriages as a side project, let alone a separate band altogether. The guitars are still swirling and atmospheric; the structures still dream-like and meandering. It’s almost like the Boxcar Racer of post-rock bands. But there are two big differences on new release Kitsune that divide the groups: Marriages write more condensed, focused tunes, and they actually use vocals. While minor differences, they’re enough to justify Kitsune, although the high quality certainly helps.

The Spirit of the Beehive (1973) , Victor Erice

Widely regarded as a masterpiece of Spanish cinema, this allegorical tale is set in a remote village in the 1940s. The life in the village is calm and uneventful -- an allegory of Spanish life after General Franco's victory in the Spanish Civil War. While their father (Fernando Fernán Gómez) studies bees in his beehive and their mother (Teresa Gimpera) writes letters to a non-existent correspondent, two young girls, Ana (Ana Torrent) and Isabel (Isabel Telleria), go to see James Whale's Frankenstein at a local cinema. Though they can hardly understand the concept, both girls are deeply impressed with the moment when a little girl gives a flower to the monster. Isabel, the older sister, tells Ana that the monster actually exists as a spirit that you can't see unless you know how to approach him. Ana starts wandering around the countryside in search of the kind creature. The film received critical accolades for its subtle and masterful use of cinematic language and the expressive performance of the young Ana Torrent.

Hurray for The Riff Raff – Look Out Mama (2012)

...Ne tako dobar kao zadnji Feist, ali bolji nego zadnja 2 Cat Power...

Fronted by singer/songwriter Alynda Lee Segarra, Look Out Mama is the third album from New Orleans-based Hurray for the Riff Raff. Steeped in traditional folk music, Look Out Mama is a dazzling mix of fresh Americana that will immediately draw listeners' attention. Combining elements of The Carter Family, The Band, and rockabilly with some classic yodelling, Look Out Mama rides high on the smooth, honey vocals of Segarra.

Karen Dalton – 1966 (2012)

Picture the great American folk artists of the 1960s and 70s sitting for a group portrait; Karen Dalton’s there, but her figure’s a blur, flitting restlessly out of frame. Dalton hated recording and felt at best ambivalent about performing in front of strangers (she much preferred playing for friends, on porches and in living rooms), which means that although she’s got one of those voices that gets talked about in hushed, reverent tones by everyone from Bob Dylan to Devendra Banhart, she preferred to sit out the kind of rituals that secure a person a snug spot in the canon. She didn’t don face paint and a gypsy costume and hit the road with the Rolling Thunder Revue, she didn’t dance The Last Waltz under Scorsese’s spotlights, and– years after her flight from Greenwich Village to Colorado– she’s present on the Basement Tapes only as the elusive subject of Richard Manuel’s beguiled plea: “Dear Katie, if you can hear me…/ How much longer will you be gone?”

Gravenhurst – The Ghost In Daylight (2012)

Bristol songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Nick Talbot’s fourth album for Warp is a gorgeously hallucinatory affair, marking a slight shift towards late-80s/early-90s psychedelia. The Ghost … occasionally conjures up the Stone Roses’s gentler moments, the hymnal sections of Spacemen 3′s Playing With Fire and the Church’s hazy masterpiece, Priest = Aura. And yet, for all the melancholy beauty, there’s an atmosphere of quiet disturbance which makes it chime eerily with our times. The sense of creeping unease is typified by The Foundry, which begins with a plangent electronic intro like something off the Eno-led Roxy Music debut, but veers into an essay on the everyday origins of evil, crystallized in the malevolent main character. These are terrific, understated songs with a church-like serenity, but hooks that reel you in, too: the endlessly repeated guitar motif on Circadian; the way the sublime The Prize gathers momentum towards a frazzled climax. It adds up to a beautifully haunting set, and the sense that Talbot is surely among music’s best-kept secrets.

Heidi Harris – In the Lee (2012)

When Heidi Harris makes music, everything seems simultaneously casual and careful. Her gestures, vocal or instrumental, seem as natural and organic as breathing, as though they were simply inevitable, but they also sound as deliberately positioned as jigsaw pieces. This effect is partly due to her approach to production, which focusses on the creation of an ambience above all else.
There is a very spatial sound to these recordings, with a very natural sounding reverb, but also an aleatory feel to much of the orchestration, which reinforces the sense of objects positioned in space. The result of this is that her recordings encode silence, in a way that most do not. Sure, when there’s no sound there’s no sound, but with the perfection of digital recording silence is often too complete to register as such, reading instead as an absence of playback.

James Blackshaw – Love is the Plan, the Plan is Death (2012)

James Blackshaw has long been a shining light in the world of virtuoso guitar playing. In the same way his compositions build and bloom slowly and steadily, Blackshaw has, over eight previous albums, quietly but insistently made a name for himself with his stunning, inhuman abilities on the guitar and his ability to mesh that with a knack for tone and texture, so that his albums are rarely about just virtuosity but rather about virtuosity as a road to beautiful, melodic songs.
On recent records, he's pushed his musical palate past the usual acoustic playing into other realms. 2009's The Glass Bead Game closed with the stunning 19-minute "Arc," which featured Blackshaw playing simply enough on a piano while slowly drenching the notes in chorus effects, so that by songs end each note has blurred into the other to make a dizzyingly huge sound. 2010's All Is Falling found Blackshaw experimenting with electric 12-sting guitar for the first time, and the results were equally expansive, pushing Blackshaw past the intimate organic sound of his acoustic guitar and into something larger, airier.

The Haunting(Robert Wise, 1963)

Dr. Markway, doing research to prove the existence of ghosts, investigates Hill House, a large, eerie mansion with a lurid history of violent death and insanity. With him are the skeptical young Luke, who stands to inherit the house, the mysterious and clairvoyant Theodora and the insecure Eleanor, whose psychic abilities make her feel somehow attuned to whatever spirits inhabit the old mansion. As time goes by it becomes obvious that they have gotten more than they bargained for as the ghostly presence in the house manifests itself in horrific and deadly ways.

The Cyclist (1989), Mohsen Makhmalbaf

Renowned filmmaker Mohsen Makhmalbaf directs this subtle, challenging film about the iniquities between the rich and poor in modern Iran. Nasim is an Afghani refugee who is in dire need of money to pay for treatment of his ailing wife. Unable to find work, he wagers to spend an entire week on a bicycle, circling the area outside his town. A sleazy promoter starts touting him as the Afghani superman, and soon bookies and food vendors start making money off Nasim's abject suffering.
