Robbie Robertson-How To Become Clairvoyant (2011)

n-am mai scris de muzici, dar ascult prea multe noi ca sa ma hotarasc...dar l-am vazut pe Robbie Robertson in CARNY (finally), si acum ascult albumul sau nou, “HOW TO BECOME CLAIRVOYANT” (iesire oficiala 5 aprilie),
cu piesa He Don’t Live Here No More (cu Eric Clapton la chitara), mi se pare ca are niste elemente de Chris Rea in spate...


HOW TO BECOME CLAIRVOYANT,
ROBBIE ROBERTSON’S FIRST ALBUM IN OVER A DECADE, IS DUE OUT APRIL 5, 2011 ON 429 RECORDS
Produced By Marius de Vries And Robertson
Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Robert Randolph, Trent Reznor And Tom Morello are Featured

On April 5, 2011, 429 Records will release How To Become Clairvoyant, Robbie Robertson’s fifth solo album and his first record in more than 10 years. Guitar virtuosos Eric Clapton (who co-wrote three tracks with Robertson), Tom Morello and Robert Randolph guest on the album, which Robertson co-produced with Marius de Vries. How To Become Clairvoyant also features Steve Winwood and Trent Reznor as well as vocalists Angela McCluskey, Rocco Deluca, Dana Glover and Taylor Goldsmith of Dawes. Bassist Pino Palladino and drummer Ian Thomas lay down the groove throughout.
On his last two albums – Music for The Native Americans (1994) and Contact from the Underworld of Redboy (1998) – Robertson explored his ancestry. Now, with How To Become Clairvoyant, he takes on his rock heritage, delivering his first-ever song about leaving The Band, the evocative “This Is Where I Get Off.” “What is lost? What is missing?” Robertson asks on “When The Night Was Young,” a poignant reflection on youthful idealism. “We could change the world/stop the war…but that was back when the night was young.”

Periferic (2010)

mi-a placut mai mult ca , dar e pe acelasi gen; “romanesc”
interpretarea, Ana Ularau, ca o tinara Jean Seberg (À bout de souffle -Breathless-ul lui Godard si Ioana D’arc pentru Preminger), bravura performance, disperare, frumos filmata, cu multa furie in ea, de new wave, ea si Madalina Ghitescu (Marilena de la P7), mi se par cele mai bune din nouvelle vague-ul romanesc.
locuri comune: Andi Vasluianu-secund (fratele), Mimi Branescu-cel mai viril barbat din filmul romanesc, total neconvingator in rolul unui peste, din nou overcast !!! copiii-dragutzi (desi cu tigara in gura :-)
-imaginea, bravura filmmaking (Marius Panduru pe pelicula), in mult contre jour, dar la un moment dat iara zdruncinata rau, filmari din spate, cefe, acceptabile doar la Wrestler si Raging Bull
montajul, debut Eugen Kelemen, minus splice-urile\ok, flash-uri de overediting –ok la Tony Scott, out of range la Dardenne
Gloria lui Cassavettes dar pe invers si ceva din fratii Dardenne (marota cineastilor romani mizerabilisti), structura in trei inserturi, fara muzica, un story scris de Mungiu si Ioana Uricaru, scenariu de Tuodr Voican si Bogdan George Apetri (regizorul, debut ok), care incearca undeva sa se desprinda, dar nu iese din plutonul acestui gen de film romanesc minimalist.
Are similitudini si cu Francesca, si cu Puiu, si Mungiu (firesc), unitatea de timp (totul se petrece intr-o zi). As mai avea ceva de zis si de calul ala alb dar...
Titlul descrie bine leit-motivul cinematografiei romanesti: Periferic.
3 din 5, 6 din 10 !!!
