For this week's Hairy Harmonies, we have two films dealing with loss, but approaching from opposite directions.
Blue (1993) 75 minutes
WARNING: Made while losing both his sight and his life to complications with AIDS and the disease itself, the movie has NO IMAGES. It is a BLUE SCREEN. IT DOES NOT CHANGE.
Meditative and extremely personal, this was Derek Jarman's last film*. In it, we get reflections of his decline and treatments mixed with other thoughts on life, his philosophy, and the world -- all set within a soundscape that acts to replaces what his eyes no longer see. (*note that another film was completed after he died)
(10 minute break)
Survive Style 5+ (2004) 120 minutes
WARNING: There's a bit of homophobia played for comedy in here that bothers me, BUT there is a resolution to those slurs that I consider satisfying.
While not 'Great Cinema', this low-budget-eye-candy piece is one of my absolute favorite movies of all time! It is intertwined stories of loss -- of thieves and victims -- and how people handle the repercussions (their methods of survival). Lots of murder and violence as well as simple robbery, love, and some fun songs.
Sex & Nudity: Mild
Violence & Gore: None
Profanity: Moderate
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking: None
Frightening & Intense Scenes: Severe*
*(note that the screen is blue the entire time, so the intensity involves the music and verbal description of having AIDS)
car crash
car honk/tires screech
offensive language
terminal illness
chronic illness
hospital scene
someone dies
parent dies
existentialism debated
homophobic slurs removed mentioned
attempted suicide
domestic violence
sexual content
ableist language or behavior
shaving/cutting
amputation
struggle to breathe
hospital scene
spit
incestuous relationship (briefly noted as a thing in past)
I don't really expect anyone to show up for "Blue" because it almost demands a contemplative mood that is ready to fall into a trance like state, but boy oh boy do I hope y'all tune in for Survive Style 5+!
