I think our world is rotten to the core and that if there's a God, he must be indifferent for human suffering (to quote Anton LaVey). Still, Austrian director Ulrich Seidl's films feel like a kick in the head. His second long feature - after a handful of amazing documentaries - is essentially another intriguing film about humiliation and loss but it is great to see how the two main characters courageously struggle for a decent life. IMPORT/EXPORT is a MUST SEE!
I also found some DEKE DICKERSON & The Ecco-fonics pictures from that fabulous Turnhout show at this Swiss girl’s myspace. Damn cool, ain't it?
I hope to breathe new life into this blog once my house is finished (hopefully next month). I will post MP3's very frequently and will include more film reviews so stay tuned!
Here's another soul compilation bootleg album that I need to check out 'cuz it looks full of promise. Maybe after all, there IS a GOD!!!
