Dans un kimono rouge, ses bras fermement liés, elle regarde l'objectif avec une expression vide. Derrière l'appareil un curieux petit bonhomme est entrain de marmonner et de prendre des photos avec cinq appareils différents, trempé et excité comme le diable. Il s'agit de Nobuyoshi Araki, le plus controversé et le plus célébré des artistes japonais du monde. Ce documentaire exceptionnel vous fera rentrer dans sa légende...

The documentary covers singer-songwriters whose songs are more traditional to early folk and country music instead of following in the tradition of the previous generation. Some of film's featured performers are Guy Clark, Townes Van Zandt, Steve Earle, David Allan Coe, Rodney Crowell, Gamble Rogers, Steve Young, and The Charlie Daniels Band. The movie features the first known recordings of Grammy award winners Steve Earle and Rodney Crowell who were quite young at the time and appear to be students of mentor Guy Clark. Steve Earle was also a big fan of Van Zandt at the time.

The Cry of Jazz is set in Chicago at the meeting of a jazz appreciation club of musicians and intellectuals, both Black and White. It is broken up into seven parts. Parts one, three, five, and seven center around conversations between the jazz club members. Parts two, four, and six are done in a documentary style and utilize footage of life in Chicago as well as of Sun Ra’s band performing the music. Alex, the film’s main character, serves as narrator during these sections. Although the film is nominally about jazz, jazz is utilized primaily as a metaphor through which to understand the African American experience.

“Jazz on a Summer’s Day” est l’un des tout premiers concerts filmés de l’histoire du cinéma. Louis Armstrong, Mahalia Jackson, Chuck Berry, Chico Hamilton… Les plus grandes légendes du jazz défilent sous le soleil de Newport et nous livrent une performance unique. Entre deux concerts, Bert Stern filme l’effervescence qui anime cette ville, à la manière d’une parenthèse enchantée.

This documentary film follows outspoken indie-rock hero Bob Forrest, through his life-threatening struggle with addiction, to his transformation into one of the most influential and controversial drug counselors in the US today. Bob and the Monster crafts contemporary footage, animation and compelling interviews with archival performances and personal videos from Bob's past to reveal the complex layers of this troubled, but hopeful soul. Testimony from his peers, including John Frusciante, Flea, Anthony Kiedis, Steven Adler and Courtney Love add texture, but it's the depth of Bob's music, interwoven throughout the film, that illuminates this unforgettable and inspirational story.
