來不及好好回顧2010，2011就已經開始了。這一年，我選擇了 Banksy 的 EXIT THROUGH THE GIFT SHOP 作為我的開年電影。 我或者應該稱之為紀錄片。但這真的是紀錄片嗎？或是一個 mockumentary？Thierry Guetta aka. Mr. Brainwash aka. MBW 的一生，有幾多是真的發生過的事實？有幾多是 Banksy 與 Shepard Fairey 的創作？ 其實，「事實」與否並不重要。Mr. Brainwash 在 Art scene 的現像本身，就已經是一件 art piece。「Mr. Brainwash」這個名字已經說明了一切：在高度資本主義的社會當中，傳媒的渲染就是人氣，人氣就是「事實」，人氣造就「好」與「壞」，人氣造就「善」與「惡」。傳媒渲染出來的人氣，就是當下的精神領䄂。 就像 George Orwell Nineteen Eighty-Four 中 IngSoc 所朔造的 Big Brother 一樣。 由 Andy Warhol 開始，Pop Art 就不是關於那些「畫」本身，而是關於傳媒與人氣。Banksy 這次打造了 Mr. Brainwash 這個人物，Pop Art 走出了畫框，也穿越了 [...]

You can’t imagine how much I love this film (or just the trailer). There is something wrong, something uncompromising in Romain Gavras’s blood, and you can feel it in EVERY SINGLE ACTOR, EVERY SINGLE SHOT and EVERY SINGLE EDIT POINT in this trailer, although you already knew that when you were watching Justice’s STRESS and [...]

Suddenly a scene from the film A SINGLE MAN came to my mind. George Falconer (Colin Firth) was sitting in the same same couch with his lover Jim (Matthew Goode). George was reading Franz Kafka’s Metamorphosis, while Jim was reading Truman Capote’s Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Personally I love both of these stories. I love the [...]

“Our day will come” is the direct English translation of the name of Romain Gavras’s first feature film. His day has come. Same anger, same uneasiness. UNCOMPROMISING is the key to be a director.

If I’m going to make a VISUALLY HEAVY film, ENTER THE VOID would be a stunning demonstration for me. Check out the OPENING CREDIT of the movie. YES, you’ll be see this on the theatre BIG SCREEN. Be prepared.

Spike Jonze 變了。 ——————————————— 先看到的是2009年中，他為 Kanye West 製作的 We Were Once a Fairytale. WE WERE ONCE A FAIRYTALE BY SPIKE JONZE & KANYE WEST Uploaded by teleTOC. – Full seasons and entire episodes online. 能夠讓Kanye West在鏡頭前飾演真實的自己， 對自己的「自大」自嘲一番，已經是一件非常了不起的事。 故事後段，Spike Jonze 引領觀眾一同挖掘 Kanye West 脆弱的內心， 以surreal的手法去讓 Kanye West 作出真情「剖白」，更是神來之筆。 在短短的十一分鐘內，Spike Jonze 讓我們深深地陷入了他為 Kanye West 而設的孤獨修羅場。 ————————————————————— 然後，期待已久的 [...]

Lady: I’ve never been in love. Man: She won’t get married because she’s never been in love. I think I wrote that once to sell nylons.

so this is what Andy Warhol famous for: putting people (or his superstars) in front of his film camera in the Factory and let them be themselves for as long as he wanted. This time we have 13 of those screen tests shot in the middle of the chaotic glamourous ’60s, featuring the legendary superstar Edie [...]

早前曾為我們 THINK SILLY launch party 作表演嘉賓的 Mike Relm， 最近為 Lionsagate 即將上演的三齣電影作了一個 promotional remix。 . 他那 Video + Audio 的 scratching 技巧依然令人歎為觀止。 .

不可不看，麥曦茵的《烈日當空》。 . 23歲的她，在這裡投下了一枚無聲的炸彈。
