[Film] Viy (1967)
[Video] Durutti Column – Requiem for My Mother (Excerpts from “Terra Estrangeira”)
Vini Reilly and company in fine form. A wonderful pairing of The Durutti Column’s music with scenes from the film, Terra Estrangeria.
[Video/Animation] Astor Piazzolla – Oblivion (Ryan Woodward, animation)
An extremely bittersweet composition by nuevo tango master Astor Piazzolla, tied to a lot of memories, some good, many bad and tragic. The animation done by Ryan Woodward is quite touching – tasteful and appropriate for this piece.
[Video] Ennio Morricone – ‘Moses’ Theme
Dark, yet somewhat romantic music by Ennio Morricone from the 1974 film, Moses The Lawgiver.
[Video] Akira Ifukube – Chant de la Sérinde (1997)
Akira Ifukube should be a name familiar to grungy cinema, though one wouldn’t know it by such a delicate piece like this. If his name is, indeed, familiar, it is because you heard his soundtrack music to Godzilla. Yeah, he did that!
[Article] Polish Cinema on the Rise
Good news from Poland! It seems the film industry is growing rapidly over there, and it’s producing quality material. Stephen Heyman of the New York Times has an article about Poland’s film scene here.
[Article] We’re an Anonymous Band: How Do You Make a Film About the Residents?
A legitimate question, really, posed over at Rolling Stone Magazine. Still, the idea of seeing a well-done documentary on The Residents is intriguing.
The AMOT… Wiki
Not a true wiki, but a place to house links. If you’re an interesting net-label or a radically interesting band, film-maker or writer who wishes to be archived here, let me know.
[Film] ‘Watership Down’ to be released by The Criterion Collection
Watership Down was my favorite movie as a child, even with all the violence and political intrigue in the movie a 10-year-old would not be able to process maturely.
It’s nice to see The Criterion Collection publish a piece of my childhood.
