Film – Akira Kurosawa Centennial at Film Forum!
Text by flavorpill NY
Ahead of Akira Kurosawa‘s centenary on March 23, Film Forum more or less runs through the auteur’s consummate filmography (on queue: Ikiru, Seven Samurai, Yojimbo) in six action-packed weeks. Two masterpieces also bracket this domo-arigato series: Stray Dog, an early, naturalistic film about a detective and the search for his missing gun in postwar Tokyo, and Ran, Kurosawa’s superlative, late-career translation of King Lear to the feudal East and its tragic, color-specific daimyos. The former stars Toshiro Mifune and the latter Tatsuya Nakadai, two Japanese icons who reappear throughout a canon that incorporates everything from pulp to Noh theatre, Shakespearean tragedy to the almighty Bushido code.

Rock music is alive in the Middle East!!!

Tonight after midnight while practising on my sax, I listened to the radio station BBC World SERVICE which featured the Afghani rock band KABUL DREAMS. They were interviewed and did a short acapella.
So I got the idea to look for them in YouTube and check out how they sound as a band. I found one. After watching it I wondered how Rock bands in Iran, Pakistan and India would sound. You know, Afghanistan’s neighbors. Again YouTube helped me out. I found some interesting videos which I really enjoyed. Each video has a personal touch and tells a specific story. Please enjoy and listen to their stories and messages.
