Paradis - Garde Le Pour Toi

Paradis captured our hearts with their video for Hémisphère in 2012.

Now we get a slice of their new project and it feels real heavenly. I wish I spoke French right now.

Throwback Thursday: Ann Sorel - L'amour à plusieurs

1972.  Okay so you might be able to tell a little bit from her tone, but the lyrics to this joint are about "making love to many".  She speaks to her lover who she realizes she desires most but is likely making love to someone else in the room and she questions if "making love with many is good for the heart".  French composer Jean-Claude Vannier did his thing with the strings on this one... giving them a piercing oriental sound.

Holy Motors

We write about music and videos mostly on here, but the platform remains for other noteworthy pieces art in general.  I've just finished watching Holy Motors and I might be ready to call it 2012's best film.  I still have a couple big ones to get to (namely Amour and Rust & Bone).  It is innovative, creative, bold, flashy, violent, sexy, and terrifying.  Written and directed by Leos Carax & starring Denis Lavant (easily giving the best performance of the year), Holy Motors jumps off the screen into your imagination permanently.  And does so in a way that many of the year's "best" films failed to.  This is something new, something experimental... This is for anyone who finds themselves bored with the conventions of narrative reality in contemporary cinema.  It's in no way a light film... don't watch it without patience and an open mind.  Or watch it to see Eva Mendez and Kylie Monogue get in the cleanest movie of either of their careers.
