Gyakufunsha kazoku - "The Crazy Family" - Japan - (1984)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087377/

A family moves in a new house. Only problem is that every member of this family is INSANE !

Sogo Ishii grant us of one very pleasant movie from the 80's. Nice editing, great musical score, and overall great energy. What I like most is the way normal problems are getting worth & ends up in an all-out war ! Francois Ozon obviously saw this movie before filming "Sitcom" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0157044/)

Sorry I don't have screenshots from the movie. But I found a part of the movie (with french subtitles) on Dailymotion: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6lojd_the-crazy-family-56_shortfilms

Tantei monogatari - T.Miike - Japan - (2007)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1114757/

Clearly a minor Miike here but always nice to see some japanese weirdness in action. A very odd detective is dragged in a search for a murderer that paint with blood...Adapted form a Manga, it's a low budget, quickly done kind of movie, it feels fresh but at the same time, it doesn't really choose it's genre: horror, crime, comedy...A little bit of all this...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Soul Power - doc - USA - (2009)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1277736/

It's been years since I was looking for the entire concert from the 1974 boxing fight between Ali & Foreman in Zaire. Incredible lineup here: James Brown, BB King, Miriam Makeba, The Spinners, Bill Withers, The Crusaders, Celia Cruz and the Fania all stars...Insane !

Only worry: we see one or two songs for each artists, this deserved way more time: waiting for the full concert in audio !
