Talking Heads (1980)
In 1979 Krzysztof Kieślowski carried out the probeamong polish society.
The questions were like:who are you? What you want? What is the most important thing to you? This short documentary film is the result of the probe. Kieślowski chose 44 people and set them in alphabetical order. Only one scene devoted to a single man. Consecutive talking-heads appear on the screen and on the bottom appears the year of birth of each person. Starting from preschoolers, pupils, students, adults, until oldies, we can observe the changing desires of people of different ages and in different life situations.
"THE BEAST PAGEANT is about a man who goes on an adventure.
Abraham lives deep in the heart of an industrial wasteland. His only
companion is a giant machine. Inside the machine is a man and a woman
who take care of Abraham's every need. Abraham drifts through daily life
until a tiny singing cowboy bursts from his stomach and leads him into
the wild.
THE BEAST PAGEANT is a feature film full of fantastical characters,
costumes, puppetry, animation and original music. It was shot on 16mm
with a Bolex camera rescued from a dumpster."
There is no need to present this famous English artist and songwriter Adele, who released two albums for now and became the first female artist in history to lead the Billboard 200 and the UK Albums Chart.
Each her
album “19”
and “21” was
named after the age of the singer during its production, what for me personally is a little bit frustrating ;)
Very modest clip, all situated on the bridge of Alexander III in Paris.
