DOM HEMINGWAY

Posted on 2013-11-04

Dom Hemingway (Jude Law) is a larger-than-life safecracker with a loose fuse, funny, profane, and dangerous. Back on the streets of London after twelve years in prison, it’s time to collect what he’s owed for keeping his mouth shut.

Travelling with his devoted best friend Dickie (Richard E. Grant), Dom visits his crime boss Mr Fontaine (Demián Bichir) in the south of France to claim his reward. But Dom’s drink and drug-fuelled ego decides that what he’s lost can’t be replaced. One car accident and a femme fatale later, Dom realises that his priority must be to reconnect with his long-lost daughter Evelyn (Emilia Clarke). But Dom does what Dom does best. He screws things up for everyone…

Set in present day London, LOVE TOMORROW is the story of an ex-ballet dancer (CINDY JOURDAIN), whose life is turned upside down after receiving devastating news concerning her fiancé Dominic (MAX BROWN). Wandering the underground in a torment of pain and anger, a chance encounter with a charismatic Cuban dancer Oriel (ARIONEL VARGAS), offers a temporary distraction. Oriel ignores her engagement ring and suggests she spends some time with him. Desperately needing time to decide what to do and unwilling to go home, she agrees.

What follows is an intense encounter between two strangers, both consciously and unconsciously helping each other as they face the most serious dilemmas of their lives.

JUANA MOLINA – ERAS

Posted on 2013-11-03

Argentinian musician Juana Molina returned earlier this year with her latest album Wed 21. Now, director Mario Caporali has made an elegantly nightmarish video for the single “Eras”. The creepy clip features poison, zombified dancing, a person sewing pieces of a cactus together, and a masked figure with an eyeball where its mouth should be, a creature called the “Bichapong” that also appears in the Wed 21 album art.

MARK COHEN – DARK KNEES (1969 – 2012)

Posted on 2013-11-03

Over the past 40 years Mark Cohen has walked the length and breadth of the streets in and around his hometown, seizing – or rather extracting – fragments of gestures, postures and bodies. In his photos we see headless torsos, smiling children, willing subjects yet still frighteningly vulnerable, thinly sketched limbs and coats worn like protective cloaks. Thus Mark Cohen slices and sculpts the very thick of the world to impose, in successive touches, a Kafkaesque vision, ruthless and poetic, of an environment that encompasses him. A vision from within.

This remarkable body of work – Cohen rarely uses the viewfinder, holding the camera at arm’s length – is rooted in impulsions that last just fractions of a second. A disconcerting strangeness emanates from his subjects, some caught in the dazzle of the flash. Bodies seem uncomfortable, threatened, lost, grinning too wildly or reduced to their erotic dimension. Ordinary objects appear isolated, mysterious, sinister. The decline of this small mining town is right there, in its yards, at its bus stops, on its porches, but Mark Cohen’s intentions are anything but documentary. Repetitive to the verge of obsession, he has no idea what brought him there or what he hopes to find. Rather he is driven by the beauty of a chance encounter, by the torments or delights he detects in another’s substance.

There is, in the brutality of his gaze, a rawness and a nervous energy, an ambivalence and a grace through which the making of a photo becomes the expression of a revelation.
