We could probably go on all day about some of these interesting sounding films, but there’s only so much time.
TONY has a great preview round-up, as does the Village Voice.
However, some other films of note include, “Golden Door,” which stars Charlotte Gainsbourg, the graffiti doc, “Bomb It,” and the TCM doc, “Brando.”
The Voice has interviews with the directors of “The Killing of John Lennon,” the Warhol-related doc, “A Walk Into The Sea,” Entourage-star Kevin Connolley‘s “Gardener Of Eden,” and music-nerd hero, “ Scott Walker: 30 Century Man.“
We’re Walker nerds. So it’s interesting to note: Walker was a Vietnam draft-dodger (it’s the reason the Walker Brothers never toured the U.S.), and the film was pretty much complete and then all of a sudden the reluctant and hermetic Walker himself agreed to talk (and it sounds like the clock was ticking and they didn’t have that much time. Shame).
“[Walker would say]. ‘Well, my life and my work are the same thing.’ That opens up a lot of questions and contradictions between that nice gentleman on the sofa and the earsplitting, audacious, and terrifying music coming out of his brain. I think the enigma remains intact, in a lot of ways.” – “30 Century Man” director Stephen Kijak
Jesus, yet another excuse to post Walker-related video.
