Exegetical. A curiosity: have you been to Hoboken in the evening? Just assume 5 stars, as there's a risk of getting only 3 if I try to click.

Perhaps the description of the film's genesis can be of some use, as it originated as an unusual theatrical comedy: "No, I don’t think so: it’s not going to become a film." This was initially Charlie Kaufman's stance, fresh off an Oscar for the screenplay of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, regarding Anomalisa. Written under the pseudonym – not coincidentally – of Francis Fregoli and staged in Los Angeles in 2005, Anomalisa was originally a "sound play": an unusual mix of theater and radio. The project, Theater of the New Ear (not new year, but rather new ear), indeed featured an audience, a stage, and a curtain, but all that the actors did was read their lines while comfortably seated in their chairs. No costumes, no entrances or exits, no gestures. Accompanying this sort of public dubbing while standing still was a sound effects artist and a small orchestra conducted by Carter Burwell, the composer for many of Kaufman’s and the Coen brothers' films." from La sindrome di Fregoli come metafora | Doppiozero

Thank you for the heads-up, I'll check it out one of these evenings. Among other things, the "set" is delightful... Ingrandisci questa immagine

I remember well, unfortunately, the afternoon I walked into the theater, still holding on to a glimmer of hope regarding the drift of Wenders' cinema. And I perfectly recall the "nooooooooooooo" of a spectator when, after what felt like an endless stretch of film, one of the actors uttered a line like: "we're only at the beginning." I consider that the beginning of the end, not of the world, but of Wenders and the idea of cinema he once managed to materialize. From this point on, the only things that are worthy and complete, for me, are those of a "documentary" nature. Even though I continued to watch almost every subsequent film, with increasingly faint hopes. Your passionate review made me briefly consider re-watching it, but that moment is, indeed, just a moment and fades away immediately.

Here, I knew it. Lately, I haven't been voting on reviews because I have a terrible view of the pages, which "breaks up" the stars and I was afraid I wouldn't vote as I wanted. For this page, I thought about a 5, and it came out as a 1. I'm really sorry for that...

You've made me reconsider, and you've taken a perspective from which your criticisms seem substantial, meaningful, and coherent. But I saw it differently, and what you perceive as a shortcoming appeared functional to the overall design. Meanwhile, we are once again faced with an adaptation (the novel from which it’s taken is quite different from the film), and Ford's involvement in the writing is precisely in these terms. While the novel engages in a play with the reader on the level of writing (fiction/reality, a game of hide and seek between author and reader), in the film, the condition of "successful man" (woman, in the film), the emptiness of existence, the void of an abyss that events open like a wound in the protagonist, represent the true "adaptation" by Ford of the novel. The aesthetic nature of his cinema is therefore perfectly functional to the film's meaning; it is a structural part and not a contrived or formalistic one. I did not feel any lack of additional elements in the "origins" of the story, which I would have likely found didactic instead. It seemed to me that everything necessary was there, and that the contrast held perfectly as it was. I won't give in to the temptation to rewatch it, now only available to me on TV, since a film like this deserves to be seen in a theater; however, I don’t believe I would change my opinion, even if it is certainly not without flaws. In short, I believe you were expecting a different film, probably equally interesting, but you should ask another director for that.

I didn’t know them, but while listening to them on Bandcamp, I looked up some information online and found this article that seems interesting:
April 14, 2017 (Friday) 'Dustin Wong & Takako Minekawa "Are Euphoria" tour with ASUNA'
The cosmic tribal pop duo "Dustin Wong & Takako Minekawa" is back in Matsumoto with a new release!

The works of vocalist/electronics performer "Takako Minekawa," whose solo projects, including the highly regarded 1996 release "Roomic Cube" and the 2000 "Maxi On," were all well-received internationally, paired with guitarist "Dustin Wong"—born in Hawaii and raised in Japan—who after activities with Ecstatic Sunshine and Ponytail, has performed as a front act for Dirty Projectors and Beach House during his recent solo career, have released their 3rd album "Are Euphoria" through 7.e.p. on April 5, marking about three years since their last album! After debuting in Matsumoto last October, they are returning again!

With Dustin known as a wizard of effects and his kaleidoscopic guitar sounds, Takako Minekawa's floating voice, and lo-fi electronic sounds using a Korg microSAMPLER and Kawai’s vintage drum machine R-50e, the charming sounds they create get looped into a small world that expands grandly, inviting listeners on a colorful dream journey. This latest work has matured through numerous live activities such as the FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL 2013, a month-long North American tour, and a tour across 12 cities in China, and, like their previous album, has been recorded solely by the two of them. Maintaining a warm homemade feel along with a quirky experimental sense and thrilling tension in the soundscape, this album is more speedy & groovy and has a robust quality. Ethno, tropical, toy pop, lo-fi electro, ambient, weird pop, math rock... If these words resonate with you, you definitely shouldn't miss it! Don’t miss the experience of witnessing the moment when intricately structured phrasings are built up live!

This time, accompanying them on tour is Kanazawa's drone maestro "ASUNA." Using numerous toys laid out on a table, light-sensitive synthesizers, and modified organs, he conjures ambient/drone sounds like alchemy. His music embodies a blend of childlike wonder and intellect, delicacy and audacity.

The local act is acid folk singer "Tamaya," who operates out of Matsumoto. His solemn finger-picking guitar evokes a misty forest, while the contrast of distorted words seeping from his everyday surroundings is a unique balance only present in his singing.

Don’t miss this night of traveling from the hidden realms to the cosmos!

April 14, 2017 (Friday) Give me little more.
