    The New movie of young french director Kim Chapiron. Founder of Kourtrajme (short and music video collectif) with Romain Gavras, Kim Chapiron is part of french new blood wave of director. After his first movie Sheitan, Chapiron puts us in the violent world of teen prisons in Canada. I heard it’s really good and very violent.

  6. Two Lane

    Tuesday, I left Paris for a week of work in NYC. I was looking forward to see some new movies in the plane… but thanks to Continental Airlines, the selection was dreadful. So I watched Two Lane Blacktop on my computer, this is a beautiful movie directed by Monte Hellman in 1971. The style and aesthetic of this road movie is a real inspiration. Live fast die young !

  7. Wildwood NJ

    by Simon Cahn on 2009-11-18 17:20:16

    I’ve been looking for this Documentary everywhere but no way to find it. It looks Crazy.
    Wildwood NJ is a documentary filmed in 1992 in the city of Wildwood New Jersey.
    The Directors Ruth Leitman and Carol Weaks filmed and interviewed teenagers on the boardwalk of the city.
    Mainly centered on girls, this movie looks like a perfect tool to observe the youth/teen culture of that time.
    And please let me know if you manage to find it somewhere !

  8. Out Of The Blue

    by Simon Cahn on 2009-11-06 09:02:16

    Last night I watched one of my favorite movies, Out Of The Bluedirected by Dennis Hopper in 1980.

    The film tells the story of a young girl struggling between her teenage life, her convict father (Dennis Hopper) and a love of punk rock. The movie title comes from Neil Young’s song My My, Hey Hey (Out Of the Blue)

    Out Of The Blue features a crazy soundtrack and style that fits perfectly with the spirit and attitude of McQ. Because of its punky, rebellious nature, the movie was forbidden in UK for 7 years. Most of the time, it’s a proof of quality…

    This film is hard to find, so start looking for it. It’s really good !

    You can also take a look at Dennis Hopper’s new book “Dennis Hopper: Photographs 1961-1967”, which just came out from Taschen. It looks amazing. It features more tham 500 pages of Hopper’s photos, including sets, art and party pictures. The book is limited to 1500 copies and signed by Hopper.
