A Prophet (Un Prophète)

Directed by Jacques Audiard, A Prophet is the best film i’ve seen in years. WORD>>> Tahar Rahim makes his film debut in the film and his brooding screen presence draws parallels with Vincent Cassel in the French cult classic La Haine. Already picking up the Grand Prix prize at Cannes ‘09, best film at the London Film Festival and recently nominated for an Oscar, A Prophet is a poetic character-driven tale, told beautifully under the detailed direction of Audiard. This sh*t is better than The Godfather. More pics and trailer after the jump. (more…)

Chris Ofili

Former winner of the Southbank Award & the Turner Prize, Chris Ofili’s exhibition at the Tate Britain is a must see. I hadn’t heard of him before, but after  watching an interview with the much acclaimed artist and seeing his incredible work, i’m heading down to the Tate for a gallery jam. Maybe its just me but can anyone else see similarities in style between Ofili and Basquiat? It’s hard times out here but this is well worth the £10 entry fee (£8.50 concessions). Book a ticket here. More pics after the jump. (more…)

Autonomic

The 15th of February see’s the release of FABRICLIVE 50: dBridge & Instra:mental present Autonomic. I managed to get a chance to hear the mix on promo and boy it’s VERY SERIOUS.

In my opinion dBridge & Instra:mental along with their labels Exit and NonPlus+ are pushing things forward in every sense, not just in drum & bass but electronic music as a whole. Their work may not be to everyones taste and certainly is not always built for the tear out dance floor heads, but thats just it, why should it be? They are creating some amazing music and that’s all I care about. I believe the scene needed some new life and this is exactly what these guys are bringing to the table.
