"𝘞𝘩𝘒𝘡 π˜ͺ𝘴 𝘡𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘡𝘰 𝘴𝘦𝘦?"
Easily the best musical which features a song number smack-dab in the middle of a murder trial. I really wish the last 40 or so minutes (minus the jaw-dropping ending) didn't veer so hard into - truthfully - pretty manipulative and rudimentary melodrama because the rest of this is one of very greatest musical experiences I've ever seen. A hallucinatory crossroads between visionary musical theater and downright grim drama. The behind-the-scenes hell that took place all aside, the entrancing performance that BjΓΆrk gives in this is one of the most seminal of the entire millennium. So full of traumatizing characterizations, haunting and experimental musical numbers (not a single bad song to be found), largely genius storytelling, and a mercilessly abusive milieu that it had me shaking and out of breath before the first hour even passed. The way my heart pounded during this is unreal, one of those films where you just *know* something horrible is going to happen just around the corner but you never know when it'll hit - but when it does it's like a ton of bricks being dropped, rinse and repeat. Raw, innovating filmmaking at some of its most unforgettable.
  
It seems that satirical horror @Get Out (2017) may be in the running for a 2018 Golden Globe nomination under the comedy/musical categories.
The nominations will be announced Monday, Dec. 11th, with the awards telecast to follow on Jan. 7th.

It's that time of year where the buzz for next year's films in the running for awards, has begun.

The most bizarre film I have seen in ages! A sort of martial arts-musical! It has some great fights and it's very funny. A must see to be believed film.

Rolling Stone's 374th greatest album of all time
Interesting Roxy Music album, opening with their biggest hit "Love is the Drug", and that style is continued for the remainder of the album. Unusual musical stylings at times, especially Ferry's vocals, but all enjoyable.
