Uberto Pasolini: Still Life
1 jul 16
This beautiful film by Italian director Uberto Pasolini tells the story of a lonely man who dies alone. John May (Eddie Marsan) works as a municipal clerk and is responsible for tracing the relatives of the deceased who have passed away in complete solitude. John leads an ordinary life devoid of notable emotions, and feeling somehow connected to these individuals who lost their lives without anyone by their side, he performs his work with the utmost commitment, trying to give it a broader meaning. This is not only a genuine research job and the final tribute to the deceased during the funeral, but also an ideal reconciliation, time after time, of friends and family with the departed person. The film received several well-deserved awards at the Venice Film Festival in 2013.

Ulu Grosbard: Straight Time
7 jun 16
Inspired by a novel by Edward Bunker (who also has a small role in the film), 'Straight Time' tells the story of Max Dembo (Dustin Hoffman), who, released from prison and under supervised parole, struggles to reintegrate into society due to prejudice and the constant pressure exerted by his supervisor Earl Frank (a fantastic M. Emmet Walsh). He quickly finds himself in trouble again and begins to commit criminal acts once more. Directed by Ulu Grosbard, the film's beginning is probably its strongest part, while it somewhat loses momentum in the slower and more predictable second half. A symbol of a certain New Hollywood with great characters like Walsh himself and Harry Dean Stanton, Theresa Russell, and an ending that, however unspectacular, is perhaps a punch to the gut and at the same time the only possible one.

Ulysses: 010

A side-project of Robert Schneider (lead vocalist of The Apples in Stereo), Ulysses released one album ('010') in 2004. The project was conceived by Schneider while he was touring Spain with Apples in Stereo. Out via Eenie Meerie, the songs contained in the album were initially going to be demos, but later the band was so satisfied with the performance that they decided to use them for the final release. This, along with the particular use of the monaural audio, gave the album a more lo-fi attitude that, mixed with the typical fury of Pavement's 'Slanted and Enchanted' and the sensitive taste of the bands part of the roster of Elephant 6 Rec., made this a unique episode and one of the best events in power-pop music of the last decade. Unavoidable.
