Santogold - L.E.S. Artistes (Dir. Nima Nourizadeh)


so, here's not the new bravia-spot, it indeed is the new santogold-video, directed by nima, who, by the way, has a sparkling new website up (nice intro).

and here are some - as always - wonderful first words by popjustice.

to me, the video's a bit close to ace norton's SMD one, talking of colours etc etc. on the other hand, the splashing paint reminds me of "ready for the floor". you see: i already got confused...

in related news: when's this ace norton-video for "creator" coming out?

weird disconnect between first and second section (or indeed, between artist & concept). photography and edit feel somehow off.
the latter half, however, is a very intriguing/compelling watch.

I didn't get it.

an homage


and this little gem from a couple of videos ago

I agree with prog re: the disconnect. I'm not quite sure what links the two halves of the vid. I'm happy to hear any theories...

And I agree there are similarities to ace norton's hustler in terms of the production design. however they thematically differ. ace's vid is more or less about consumer culture. nima's vid is more or less about the apocalypse.

Anyway, the vid is incredibly haunting.

how unpleasant.

Strikes me as a real winner for readers of Nylon Magazine.

strikes me as a real winner for WEARERS of nylon...

nicely shot. nice use of colour. nice homage indeed...

why so conservative antville? why perturbed by this so called 'disconnect'? I found the change of scene/ the incongruity pretty thrilling...

I've always admired Sam Brown's work for juxtaposing what seems like unrelated imagery... but 'working' (like that James Blunt vid with the balloons and the run through the woods). I like it when directors do stuff you aren't 'supposed to do'.

Go Nima. This is ace.

Alejandro Jodorowsky

and i'm also available for new films if anyone has the energy or te money to work with me please and thank you

yours

Ale Jodorowsky

progosk, Thursday, 6. March 2008, 13:20
the embarassment...
erm... hi a.j. awesome to have you round. very much hoping a new john&yoko pop up to get you filming again.
         
alejandro jodorowsky, Thursday, 6. March 2008, 13:21
or you might like to not watch the film if you do not have time and look straight at trailer here for new ideas

thank you
         
alejandro jodorowsky, Thursday, 6. March 2008, 13:24
i forgetted how many ideas i have for all ! look at the ideas they are for all thank you
         
captainhairy, Thursday, 6. March 2008, 13:28
well this is a well executed hommage.
but jeesh - thats a lot of "hommages" in a row for nima... dire straits, bat dance, jodorowsky.
creativity running dry?
         
progosk, Thursday, 6. March 2008, 14:10
the demonstration scenes are at 9:25 here.
         
matei-alexandru mocanu, Thursday, 6. March 2008, 14:11
dearest alejandro, it's pretty funny to see how your iconic on-screen violence turns pulp. it's so appealingly postmodern it renders you obsolete.

sincerely yours,
matei barney

Ale, thanks for enlightening us!

...I tried to go see The Holy Mountain last year at the Hollywood Cemetery but it sold out. I hope they screen it again soon...
         
otc, Thursday, 6. March 2008, 21:27
Time to add another one to the list. I'd put this one in the uninspired category.
         
robodrug, Thursday, 6. March 2008, 21:34
How unpleasant 'n I'm not talkin' 'bout the clip...
I can't get me 'ead 'round the fact that various comment scripts don't seem to remain shaded once u've read them n jump back into life
It's confusing and irritating
Possibly the worse idea the 'ville boffins have come up wiv
The video? Pass... I got a 'eadache

Tho' I guess, thinking bout it may have little to do with antville n summit more to do wiv me updating to the moronic pedo sterilizing protection of IE7
         
kappadonna, Friday, 7. March 2008, 00:52
otc: That last still looks awfully like one of the scenes in MGMT's "Time To Pretend". Does that promo have any other references I missed (bar maybe Lord Of The Flies?)? Does it make your list too?
         
matei-alexandru mocanu, Friday, 7. March 2008, 13:32
the boy bands have won..., indeed
         
vidbot, Friday, 7. March 2008, 14:49
Bloody disappointing! Is this really the same Nima that did "Over and Over". Finger out of arse dood!

alejandro: does the other video you noticed (with this scene

in it) have any other references to your film?
         
matei-alexandru mocanu, Friday, 7. March 2008, 16:48
come on stop it already; impersonating jodorowsky was fun at 1st, now it ain't
         
alejandro jodorowsky, Friday, 7. March 2008, 17:08
I am not impersonate

ever since the dvds were issued of jodorowsky's films i have been counting down how long it would be until we started seeing all the imagery showing up in music videos.
