It is tempting to paint Damo Suzuki, the singer for legendary krautrock band Can, as some sort of musical shaman. And frankly, the video footage that exists of him makes it easy to do so. There is a film by Peter Przygodda that captures the German group at Cologne’s Sporthalle in 1972. At one point, a man arrives on stage to juggle three umbrellas — each a different color — and while a spotlight shines on the entertainer, Suzuki has the most magnetic presence in the room. Dressed in all red, he...

Damo Suzuki, who fronted the pioneering krautrock group Can at its peak, has died at age 74. His death was confirmed on Saturday afternoon via Can’s Instagram channel. No cause was given.
“It is with great sadness that we have to announce the passing of our wonderful friend Damo Suzuki, yesterday, Friday 9th February 2024,” the message on Can’s account said. “His boundless creative energy has touched so many over the whole world, not just with Can, but also with his all continent spanning Network Tour. Damo’s kind soul and cheeky smile will be forever missed. He will be joining Michael, Jaki and Holger for a fantastic jam!”
Can founding members Jaki Liebezeit, Holger Czukay, as well as guitarist Michael Karoli have all preceded Suzuki in death.

Damo Suzuki, the pioneering vocalist who served as the lead singer of Can from 1970 through 1973, has died. He was 74 years old.
Best remembered for helming the mic for Can through some of their most popular releases — including 1971’s Tago Mago, 1972’s Ege Bamyası, and 1973’s Future Days — Suzuki had an innovative and inimitable approach to singing, often improvising parts sung in a variety of languages (a blend he referred to as “the language of the Stone Age”).
“It is with great sadness that we have to announce the passing of our wonderful friend Damo Suzuki, yesterday, Friday 9th February 2024,” a statement posted by Can on Instagram read. “His boundless creative energy has touched so many over the whole world, not just with Can, but also with his all continent spanning Network Tour.

Damo Suzuki, the Japanese singer who served as vocalist for the krautrock legends Can, has died at the age of 74.
The German band announced Suzuki’s death on social media Saturday; while cause of death wasn’t provided, Suzuki had been battling colon cancer for a decade, and revealed in a 2022 documentary that he was previously given a 10-percent chance of survival.

I knew I was going to love Inherent Vice (directed by P.T. Anderson, having its world premiere here at the New York Film Festival) the moment at the tail end of the opening sequence when Joaquin Phoenix, with his Chia Pet forest of sideburns, staggered out into the hippy seaside streets and suddenly the snares and bass of Can’s “Vitamin C” filled the soundtrack as the title—in all its 70s-style outline-font neon splendor—appeared—almost pulsatingly, I’d say—on the screen. The song took me back, as the movie, with its acid-flashback style tends to do—not to the 70s—but to the 90s, when I used to put the krautrock geniuses’ album Ege Bamyasi on the stereo and crank up the volume, and to one afternoon in particular when I was home alone on a Saturday afternoon and I put on Side B, and when the...

With The Skin I Live In out today in the UK, here’s a handy guide to the films of director Pedro Almodóvar, and what to say if you’ve never seen one of his films…
We’ve all been there. You’re out with some friends eating tapas and drinking sangria, and someone mentions The Skin I Live In, the excellent new film from Pedro Almodóvar. But what if you don’t know the director’s work? Never fear. Here are ten things to say if you’ve never seen an Almodóvar film.
1. On women: “It's all about his mother...”
If you’re watching an Almodóvar film, you can bet that women are involved. Most evident, perhaps, in 2006’s Volver and 1999’s All About My Mother (both five star films), is that he’s a director keen to emphasise female identity, repeatedly highlighting their solidarity and resilience in the...

The festival has famously neglected the talents of female directors, but this year four are vying for the top prize, including Lynne Ramsay, whose dazzling interpretation of Lionel Shriver's novel We Need to Talk About Kevin is tipped for glory
Oone of the 15 golden rules of Cannes president Gilles Jacob, as set out in his new memoir Citizen Cannes, is: Never forget that a beautiful woman's face is the reason cinema exists.
A reflection of cinema itself, the festival has always been in the thrall of beautiful women: Faye Dunaway adorns this year's striking festival poster, slinked as she is in a mid-length black dress around the digits 64, while Marilyn Monroe in a sparkly playsuit is poster girl for the Un Certain Regard sidebar.
However adoring of on-screen beauty, Cannes has notoriously neglected female talent behind the camera, the Australian Jane Campion being the only Palme d'Or winner, for The Piano,...

Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
The two toughest questions out of the many I kept posing myself during yesterday morning’s press screening of Lynne Ramsay’s powerfully gripping and emotionally charged drama We Need To Talk About Kevin were;
1) Can someone be born evil?
2) What would it be like to be the mother??
Upon leaving the Lumiere theatre the answer to the first was a definite yes and the answer to the second you can only know having seen We Need To Talk About Kevin, a unique movie about overcoming extreme loss and perhaps not since Memento have I been so affected by a troubled and lost soul searching for answers at the back of the memory tank.
An adaptation of Lionel Shriver’s popular but harrowing 2003 novel, Tilda Swinton stars as Eva, the broken mother of her teenage son’s unimaginable decision to cause a cold-blooded massacre at his school.

We Go Way Back is the story of young actress named Kate, who reflects on the youthful dreams of her 13-year-old self when dealing with the dissatisfaction of her adult reality. The film originally debuted in 2006, and opens in New York today. We recently caught up with director Lynn Shelton’s (Humpday), to talk about the film:
There have been many stories about ones adult reality not living up to childhood dreams, in a sense I think coming of age is the point when we learn and accept that, but you provided an interesting twist to this by having Kate be confronted by her childhood self. Where did that idea come from?
I think it was where I was at in my life at that moment. For some reason I just had been thinking about these different selves that I had been, so it definitely came from an autobiographical starting place,...

It is said that film is a director’s medium. That may be so. But without the skill and vision of a top-notch cinematographer, the director’s vision might never be realized.
Cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto burst onto the world film scene in 2000 with his eye-popping camera work on “Amores Perros.” His career soared with “Frida,” filmed in and around Mexico City, where his grandfather was once the mayor. In 2002, he worked with Curtis Hanson and the rapper Eminem on “8 Mile”; then with Spike Lee on the searing drama “25th Hour”; the following year on Alejandro González Iñárritu’s second installment of his Death Trilogy, the award-winning “21 Grams.”
Prieto was recognized for his work on Ang Lee’s nontraditional Western romance, “Brokeback Mountain,” for which he was nominated for an Academy Award, a BAFTA Award and an American Society of Cinematographers (Asc) Award.

The use of Can's music in Norwegian Wood confirms the krautrock pioneers have always made sounds fit for cinema
He hardly needs to give up his day job, but Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood seems to have a pretty good alternative career lined up as a film composer. After his dissonant, overpowering strings on There Will Be Blood, he does sterling work on this week's excellent Norwegian Wood, adding to the Japanese teen gloom with sheets of orchestral noise and tender acoustic guitar melodies. But what caught my attention on the soundtrack was the welcome reappearance of Can, whose music not only fits the late-60s setting, but also reminds us how much Radiohead are indebted to the trailblazing krautrockers. They've made no secret of it, even covering Can's The Thief, but listening to The King of Limbs' precision clattering, jazzy guitars, slightly slurred vocals and unorthodox song structures,...

Norwegian Wood is the film adaptation of the highly praised and successful novel of the same name by Japanese writer Haruki Murakami. Faithful to the novel, the film explores the similar themes and human emotions of alienation, loneliness, and nostalgia. Murakami has always been a writer intent on combining western influence with Japanese culture, surrealism and fantasy with crippling reality, and above all sincerity with perversion. The film’s highly emotive story is drawn ever-present with the intricately crafted score by Radiohead musician Johnny Greenwood, which is augmented by songs from krautrock pioneers Can.
Greenwood (formally noted for such scores as There Will be Blood) approaches the score with the same sincerity that Murakami writes with; there seems to be a genuine respect and appreciation among both Greenwood and Murakami, particularly heard on ‘And I’ll Come and See’, and it is beyond speculation to say either were informed in the participation of the other,...

With the closure of the UK Film Council making independent filmmaking more difficult than ever, what’s the future for British cinema?
"I think one of the keys to Warner's success in your constituency is the Harry Potter film franchise which they have been making. There is a great tip and key for film-makers here. That is, we have got to make films that people want to watch and films which will benefit beyond themselves as they will also encourage people to come and visit our country."
For those who are unfamiliar with that quote, it is from the lips of Britain's Prime Minister, David Cameron, delivered at a Prime Minister's Questions, back in November.

With their florid use of the F-Word, Ray Winstone and his low-life cronies hit a high note
Can profanity be poetic? Does swearing make a screenplay soar? Can excessive use of the F-word push back the literary frontiers?
Singular screenwriters Louis Mellis and David Scinto (who penned Sexy Beast after disowning the equally edgy Gangster No 1) clearly think so and on the evidence of 44 Inch Chest they may have a point. I struggle to remember a movie which contains quite so much blistering Anglo-Saxon verbosity or which features a line to rival the full-frontal, four-letter phrase: "You fucked his fucking wife, you fucking wife fucker!" The swearing is so intense, so incessant, so insane, that at times you start to wonder whether the ghosts of Derek and Clive haven't entered the room to fulminate upon the subject of "the worst job I ever had…" And yet in the midst of...

Life sometimes gets so complicated, and nothing comes easy for the Braverman clan.
This week on The Deep End of the Pool, Max gets kicked out of school and Julia is having a hard time connecting with her daughter. Can life get any more difficult?
Poor Max, can’t stand the hearing the bubbles of a fish tank in his classroom, decides to rid this disturbance by knocking over the tank. Now his parents must scramble to find a better school for their challenged son. Thankfully, Max is accepted into the best school in the area, one that is better equipped to handle his disability.
Adam and Kristina are very fortunate to be able to afford Max’s new school, one that is able to deal specifically with Asperger’s syndrome. There are a lot of parents out there that cannot afford such a privilege, and their autistic son/daughter must attend a public school.

So how did "A Serious Man" pull off that underdog Oscar nomination for best picture? Perhaps because it was among the first wave of DVD screeners shipped to academy members, long before the deluge of discs that arrived during the holiday season. Such an early-out-of-the-gate strategy certainly helped "Slumdog Millionaire" in last year's derby as it romped to victory with eight wins, including best picture. And it might have helped land lead acting nods last year for Richard Jenkins ("The Visitor") and Melissa Leo ("Frozen River"), whose DVDs were among the first dozen discs to get into Oscar voters' hands. Likewise for this year's lead actress contender Carey Mulligan ("An Education") and supporting actor nominee Woody Harrelson ("The Messenger"). Other films that did well in past derbies, like "Juno" (2007) and "Hustle and Flow" (2005), were also delivered to the mailboxes of Oscar voters early in the award cycle. Early bird "Little Miss Sunshine...

I agree, Sam Rockwell deserves an Oscar nomination for Moon. Tilda Swinton deserves an Oscar nomination for Julia. Julianne Moore deserves an Oscar nomination for A Single Man (the voters are probably punishing her for her acting on 30 Rock). And Paul Blart Mall Cop deserves an Oscar for Best Picture. Okay, the last I don't agree with, but I'm sure someone out there does. Because for every film, performance, and contribution not recognized by the ever-disappointing organization called The Academy there is surely someone defending it by shouting "Snub!"
So, without further ado, here are the complaints heard round the web today, including those that complain about the Academy Awards in general, following the announcement of this year's Oscar nominations:
Peter Travers at The Travers Take: Ten shots for Best Picture, and The Blind Side gets a nod? What about smaller movies, like Moon with Sam Rockwell -- did you ever think of nominating him?...

Liam's first kiss: Romantic or lame?
M.L. House: It's hard to say because we don't know Liam very well. Did he wait so long for the kiss because he was a geek in high school? Because he was waiting for a certain, special pair of lips? We need more insight into his character.
Dr. Shepherd: It was romantic... until he started tagging every piece of ass that walked by him after that. You wanna top your first kiss, Liam? That's cool. But that doesn't explain why you go from first...
