Russian Ark

Impressive of course.

Story-wise, was there a reason for the no-cut decision? I could not immediatly detect one.

Interesting at first, but at a certain moment, a bit dull.

The end though, the slow retractive movements of the camera, "Europe" who stays behind, sad? melancholy? lost? ... the long long walk down among the crowd, and finally, the sea, all around them. It made an impressive ending to a not very impressive story.

Perhaps it is simply more like a showcase for their history, not to be seen as a story-telling film.

Gorillaz (ft Mos Def and Bobby Womack) - "Stylo"

Nice song, awesome clip, featuring Bruce Willis in a car chase.

U.N.K.L.E. - "Burn My Shadow"

perfect song, good clip.

made me wonder: a prison in which they sentence you to despair...

Current 93 - "When The May Rain Falls"

soft, melancholy. Seems to appeare only on a single that was given away for free with the first 1000 copies of Sand's "Universal Seraphim"?

Beatles - "Girl"

Am used to the original now, and it's still a melancholy-inducer.
