Nouvelle Vague

Crowd-surfing the crowd

Last week I went to see nouvelle vague. The band is absolutely amazing live. I've always loved the variety of different singers in the band. I thought the gig would be quite tame considering it was at Royal Albert Hall, but to the contrary the band interacted great with the audience. The main girl in the band was an incredible dancer; her dancing reminded me of Brigitte Bardot in the film 'God created women'. She also crowd surfed, ran through the hall and up to the balcony seats many times. It was nuts considering how hard it is to do in the Royal Albert Hall. I would definitely see them again.

Les Amants Réguliers

After years of having the dvd in my cupboard; I finally decided to watch the film yesterday. It was exactly how I thought the film would be. Regular Lovers is a black and white semi-romantic film based around the 1968 riots in Paris. Although the film could be perceived as boring
by many; I found the film quite laid back and relaxing. I loved the randomness of the conversations and the unpredictable relationship of Francois and Lilie.
I think the film showed a realistic and unglamorous portrayal of how Phillipe GarreI saw the events of May 1968.
