Don’t miss this animated movie Waltz with Bashir

Recently I saw This is England by Shane Meadows. I liked this film’s perspective so much… I sometimes get flashes from it… I always thought I had a punk attitude but not quite… before punk became white supremacist… it was for everyone who lived on the side of main stream everything… a rebellious attitude towards everything that was wrong… this days it seems that it is even more necessary… yet… this days we have the internet and the ideas go faster but do they really change anything? corporations rules us… even if we don’t want, my life experiences to go from Castro to Corpo seem funny now… mean while I am wondering if artbasel miami beach and my country are going to disappear thanks to the rising global water level.

My Blueberry Nights disappoints…, the latest film by Wong Kar Wai… his films have inspired some of my paintings in the past… even the ones I did not like… and this time the characters are weak, the music is too loud, the visual effects are over done and the film in general does not convey the strong feelings it tries to portrait… a bit like my work…
Last year and even this year I have continue to listen to Amadou and Mariam’s Dimanche a Bamako with Manu Chao. Today I just saw a video concert of them in paris, they rule.

Here is a trailer art piece that I liked from the same two artists I reported on yesterday. Please click on play now and please be advised the content is sexually explicit… and it is art.
Le dejeuner sur l’herbe (2006) by Ondrej Brody & Kristofer Paetau

La Societe de Consommation (me) just bought the film La Societe du Spectacle by Guy Debord and all his other films (L’intégrale in a box) and I am very intrigue by their content. I would like to share this experience with you all in Miami when I return. I would like to invite my four readers and any body else interested on a screening of his films at my studio. All we need is a multi format dvd reader and projector.
