Excellent movie, what roller-coaster ride!

Thought the first UK screening of Shigeru Yoshida‘s film Shades of Indigo on 28 March might be of interest. General booking opens tomorrow, already open for Barbican members.

If anyone else is going, there might be an opportunity for an IH mini meet-up afterwards.

Cheap thrills and narratively a string of clichés.

It took a second viewing but finally behind all the praise for One Battle After Another. Helped that I was ready for Leo to be more akin to the dude than some badass revolutionist (my initial expectations). And Benicio and Sean Penn

@flannel-slut good to hear I gotta get this watched

[Jett129]

Watched Is This Thing On. I really liked it,wife pretty much hated it,but then again she’s not really all that much of a fan of stand up comedy.

[Matt]

Very excited for OBAA.

[endo]

both not bad, kind of tarantino-ish First Blood-story made by Kaurismäki

Sisu is great fun!

How did I not know about this? I guess 13 years late is better than never!

Thanks @ARNC for this recommendation. Amazing story in the shittiest of times. Great that they made a film of it.

@Bridger Can't believe I've never heard of it either. Definitely watching it this weekend,and after just finishing How To Get To Heaven from Belfast,we're in full Ireland mode.

[ARNC]

@Bridger I nearly missed out. I wanted to watch something and it was there and not too long. The write up really undersold it and I didn’t have high expectations. So glad to be wrong!

[Jett129]

@ARNC @Bridger Haven’t finished the movie yet but,early on a guy comes into the record store and asks for the Electric Chairs,Fuck Off,and then recites the chorus …If you don’t want to fuck me…Fuck off. I was playing drums for Wayne/Jayne County in NYC when he wrote that song. At some point he decided to go to the UK and formed the Electric Chairs and recorded this song. It was always a show stopper when we played it in the states.

[Jett129]

@ARNC @Bridger I’m the drummer on this song. The guy with his hands in the air.

[ARNC]

@Jett129 I love this. I suspected you would have something interesting to say but I wasn’t expecting such a close connection.

[IrishHeart]

@Jett129 that’s an unbelievable story. I used to use a punk club in Birmingham called Barbarella’s in the late 70’s and this was played regularly. Listening to it again brought me right back there. Thank you!

Possibly the most beautiful love song ever written...
