You I Love, a movie to start the week with, is a beautifully photographed simple enough story from Moscow.

It was released in 2004 to great brouhaha, The movie is more light hearted than the clip below. The sub titles aren’t necessary for this clip. In the clip Damir Badmaev plays Uloomji (a great character) + Lyubov Tolkalina plays Vera, Timofei’s (Evgeny Koryakovsky) girl.

This film is about love – and a film about the new Russia. Glossy Moscow with corporate meetings, luxury Stalinist skyscrapers, the suburban kitsch gay club and beauty salons.

Фильм о любви мужчины и женщины. И еще одного мужчины.

You I Love, a movie from Russia is a beautifully photographed simple enough story. It was released in 2004 to great brouhaha, The movie is more light hearted than the clip below. The sub titles aren’t necessary  for the clip either. 

This film is about love – and a film about the new Russia. Glossy Moscow with corporate meetings, luxury Stalinist skyscrapers, suburban kitsch gay club and beauty salons. Фильм о любви мужчины и женщины. И еще одного мужчины. Это фильм о необычной любви – и снят он необычно. Эпизоды сменяют друг друга, словно в калейдоскопе – смешные, грустные, причудливые… Ремикс на "Увезу тебя я в Тундру" сменяется "Звездой" Жанны Агузаровой и кавер-версией старого хита Пугачевой "Как бы мне влюбиться" – а между ними перебивая друг друга мы слышим голоса московских клерков и простых ребят из Долгопрудного, звонящих на радио. Это фильм о любви – и фильм о новой России. Глянцевая Москва с корпоративными совещаниями, роскошью сталинской высотки, китчем загородного гей-клуба и утонченными пытками салонов красоты сменяется заснеженными степями Калмыкии и видениями фантасмагорической армейской казармы.

I got The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo out last nite. Great movie. Go see. The rights for the three Millennium novels have been taken up in Hollywood.  Don’t know why they need to remake it but I guess folk think there’s more money in remaking a super movie than just ploughing some of same into the promotion of the original? Have heard some reviewers saying there’s too much explicit sex in it.  It’s explicit but it’s the story and I’ve seen worse on tv.

Män som hatar kvinnor is the Swedish title of Stieg Larsson’s book. Translates as Men Who Hate Women. Why they changed the title in english.
There’s an equally sad story behind his passing.Eva Gabrielsson, Stieg’s girlfriend has some interesting things to say about what happened.
Noomi Rapace who plays Lisbeth has already completed the three movies in the series;The Girl Who Played with Fire (Flickan som lekte med elden), + The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest (Luftslottet som sprängdes). All due for release this year by Music Box.

Kıraç (below) being a Turkish singer does his version of Googoosh‘s ( pictured left) Talagh. I believe Talagh is an old folk song, anyway it’s a huge song for some folk. Googoosh’s stuff from the 70′s is part of one of the most interesting albums this year, ie Pomegranates (a collection of remastered Persian music). Kıraç does a Rammstein (nearly) on it.Would luv to hear Rammstein tear Talagh up, it’s would so suit them. Needless to say; there would be uproar.

For more on Googoosh + Pomegranates go ‘ere >>>.

Luv Myles O’Reilly‘s videos (and Ian Cudmore below) and his Arbutus Yarns.  Lisa Hannigan with (a trailer type thing) Gleebe Gardens below. Not a music video, more a rambling atmospheric thingy.
