Veni Vidi Vici by Black Lips

I realized a bunch of songs I liked were actually in the punk genre after going to my first punk concert, and found this one while poking around a punk music playlist on spotify shortly afterwards. This song is now central to my music tastes and the charm hasn't worn off a year or so later.

Black Dresses by the Builders and the Butchers

The two kinds of country songs are ones where America is good because of a specific brand of consumer culture and ones where capitalism is bad because the devil said so. This is, very loosely speaking, the second kind. Something about this song makes my limbs want to move, so for a few weeks after I had first found it I used it to motivate myself to get out of my dorm room and head to classes. It's still a banger.

Bad Things by Cults

A friend once told me I like music from advertisements and I still haven't recovered. I found this one in a commercial for a hulu show I never watched and was totally obsessed. It's most well known for being sampled in She Knows by J Cole but I only found that out after playing it for my friends/ reading the youtube comments. A good song for being in your feelings.

Yellow Brick Road by Dylan Cartlidge

This one is really catchy. Maybe even a little funky. A little groovy, perchance. If I were a caterpillar this guy would be a wasp and this song a parasitic larvae capable of burrowing into me. Except the parasitic wasp larvae just wants me to bob my head.

Davy Crockett by Thee Headcoatees

This one is just fun. The way it sounds like they get rowdy and start shouting makes its energy infectious. "Gabba gabba hey (hey) - willy walla walla" is literally lyrical genius.

I set limits on which songs qualified for this list by making it so they had to be songs I had intentionally sought out to listen to within the past month or so, which left out some songs and bands I consider foundational to my music tastes but haven't listened to in a short while. Even so, I had trouble narrowing this post down to 5 songs, so I picked the ones that I was obsessed with at one point or another and played repeatedly for a period of two weeks or so. I also tried to give a cross section of the different genres I've been listening to lately to keep things interesting.

I liked listening to @punished-lincolnshire-poacher 's songs and like talking about my music tastes so I will forward this chain mail to:

Movie #1,158 • Ranking Lars von Trier #2

[Ed. Note: This was the first film I watched for this Ranking series. Sorry that the tone of this review is so different than the others.]

And so I begin a crisscross through the career of Lars Von Trier. Hey that rhymes! Neat. And fun. You know what's not so fun, it seems? Watching a dang Lars Von Trier film! I am beginning with Trier's Golden Heart Trilogy (1996-2000) of which this is the first installment. I am starting here for no real reason, but maybe the real reason is because I remember when Bjork wore that swan dress to the Oscars. (I don't want to explain that sentence further. I'm sorry.)

Before dipping my toes into the Trieriverse, the only thing I knew about his work is that it was BLEAK. And, guess what? We are 1 for 1 on that count, man. Hoo boy… NOT a feel-good movie here, folks. There are around 15 features and some TV, documentaries and shorts I will be ingesting over the next five to fifty-five weeks (give or take). Whether my precious heart can take it… that's another question.

I like to mix up how I ingest a filmmaker's catalog. Sometimes I'll go chronolog, sometimes rev-chronolog, sometimes alphabetty and then sometimes I'll just throw out a dang wildcard and jump around like I'm in the Irish hip-hop group House of Pain. That Trier (or is it Von Trier–I mean, I assume Von isn't his middle name?) often works in loose trilogical way, I thought it would be nice to start somewhere in the middle and the hop frontwards and backwards, making sure I took in each trilogy in chronological order, of course. It's a joy: being able to experience an auteur's work in full, for the first time (unscathed as it were… something about it feels more pure).

But that's enough preamble, let's talk about 1996's Breaking the Waves starring the great Emily Watson and Stellan Skarsgård. This film is a classic, me thinks. Like many great works of the cinema, it plays a trick. This movie's trick is that it makes you think it's about sex, but it's really about faith and religion. It's about what an absolute farce the latter is. (And I believe this is a common theme for him. Wwe pick things up in life by happenstance, without really trying — I do, at least.)

This film is long, but it's broken down by Chapters which make it easily digestible in multiple viewings (umm, ever heard of PRESTIGE TV??) . All the Chapters begin with a classic rock song, by David Bowie and others, played over these extremely cool looking. kind of moving portraits (done by Per Kirkeby). I did a supercut of these title cards…

My favorite part(s) of this movie are when Emily Watson does the voice of God. It's a reoccurring bit and it's so so good…

I found an interesting secondary theme to be the role of women in modern society. Yes, the pretense of the setting (a cloistered village in bumfuck Scotland with doomed religious politics) is a cheat, andLVT being, well, a man, perhaps complicates or undermines the point, but I think he did a really amazing job, both facts considered. This is a highly feminist film, and not in a 'beat you over the head' trying too hard kind of way.

That said, there are no happy endings here. The evil men do in their mind is not equal to the evil they can do with their bodies. The final act is spectacularly rough and hard to watch at times (spoiler alert: Udo Kier's character is simply billed as "Sadistic Sailor"). But it's never a morality lesson. If anything, it's a lesson against the entire concept of morality. And it's a notion he would completely break wide open with his next project, The Idiots.

SCORE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’ll be counting down all of Lars Von Trier’s movies right here at @cinemacentral666 every Thursday through September 2023
