cities in film and dreams
Last weekend I watched Lost In Translation, which features shots of Tokyo set to the music of Kevin "My Bloody Valentine" Shields. I also watched Demonlover, which features shots of Tokyo set to the music of Sonic Youth. Is there a zeitgeist happening here?
On a different note: last night before bed, I watched The Pianist, which, among other things, strikingly dramatizes the devastation that the Second World War unleashed upon the urban spaces of Europe. The images of Warsaw in ruins must have affected me, because all night long I was plagued by a series of dreams set in a postapocalyptic America. |
