"I remember the impact Lucrecia Martel’s debut feature had on film students, critics, and fellow filmmakers. It was released on one single 35 mm print in Brazil, and that was shredded over a period of a year after playing in just about all noncommercial movie theaters around the country. I love everything about this film: the obliqueness of it, the fresh and bold take on sexuality, the use of sound, the faces and bodies. It was also quite a reference for a filmmaker like me, who like Martel believed films could be about people interacting with a certain feeling of space and time, mediated by cinema itself."

Book Favorite

"In a politically fractious America in which “bearing witness” has been attacked as a motive for art in recent years, emerging writers have nonetheless written boldly across divides of class, ethnic identity, and gender. Outstanding among these has been Anthony Marra, a young American author whose first two books are set mainly in Russia and the former Soviet Union. In A Constellation of Vital Phenomena, Marra’s debut novel, three survivors of the Second Chechen War band together in an abandoned hospital. In 2015’s The Tsar of Love and Techno, linked short stories follow various characters’ dreams and dashed hopes from the 1930s to the present, and then beyond."

The cover of this book has statements such as "Ten-year-old Jonah can't speak, but it is time his family listened," and "Jonah has never spoken, yet somehow he communicates better than all of the adults in his life." While Jem Lester's debut novel is about Jonah, a child with severe Autism, it is also about a whole lot more than that. This is why I entitled my review of this book, "The Volumes of Silence" despite the cliché. You'll understand better what I mean, from my review of this wonderful novel here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2017/05/27/the-volumes-of-silence/

he self-titled 2019 debut LP from Mouth of Ghosts is a culmination of several years' worth of stylistic probing, and the exploration of a nexus between dance pop, hard rock influences, and a vocal aesthetic that combines power and precision with a mesmerizing sense of rhythm.

On Mouth of Ghosts, the EP, listeners are given the opportunity to explore a diverse collection of textures and tones within a single cohesive experience. Downfall leverages a cinematic quality of tone with layers of vocal harmony and a groove that gives hints of reggae. The result is a shimmering track that feels suspended halfway between Enya and K.Flay.

Rolling Stone's 371st greatest album of all time
Absolute belter of an album. If you can get past the rock and roll cliché that Alex Turner has become (generally more coked-up than the soft drinks aisle of Tesco at Christmas), this is simply a load of well written fast rock songs with punk ethics. There are so many excellent songs here that it is easy to forget, from their smash debut single I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor, and Dancing Shoes to the slower paced Mardy Bum and Riot Van. A great band (at the time!) loving their time in the studio.
