Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes

" It's Almost Like a Bob Dylan / Bruce Springsteen / Johnny Cash kind of feel with a punk edge "
(Mike Ness)

The year 2011 could not better start. Before the new Decemberists (who listened well dvvero is a great record), now the new Social Distortion . In other words: the kindness rural violence underground. I love and adore Social Distortion Mike Ness. The first, when I saw them live a couple of years ago, the second time since I listened to his solo work. Then went to retrieve all the records of SD (which is the band of Mike Ness, of course).

The Social Distortion are now one of the last (last?) Pure rock'n'roll band, but they sound as if a group of criminals of the era of the Great Depression had at our disposal of electric guitars. The new album, Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes is a eslosione joy of rock'n'roll: the initial instrumental Road Zombie, that Sergio Leone would have gladly used for one of his films if he were still alive in California (Hustle and Flow) that reproduces the exact point where they thought the Stones Honky Tonk Women. And obviously Hank Williams: After riprieso Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash in the past, here is another symbol of imprenscindibile SD, Hank Williams with his Alone and Forsaken. A hard explosive, played recklessly, with the nice surprise of a female chorus here and there to flesh out music that throws everything into a boiling cauldron is "America."

Mammoth

Surely one of the most interesting films of the past year, recovered with considerable delay due to a distribution that has made so much invisible as expected, given the previous and most successful Louise - Michel , which would have technology to disperse greater visibility, given the presence of a body such as Depardieu film immeasurably.

Actor race, chameleon and an essential element of French cinema, together with the directors dedicated the film to the missing son and gives us a delicate role, fun and meaningful as this tale that the inconvenience of the fund, primarily the very form of his narrative, made up of episodes and characters grotesque, and denouncing a photograph resigned perhaps the limited resources available, or a certain way.

Mammoth is a film about the end of work on retirement and on a working world where social solidarity is ideal as an outdated and contrary to the principles of a new reality in which Mammoth (Gerard Depardieu) itself is a being which should be settled, but perseveres in his bike as his research and discovery, through a past not so rosy, with a will to live can also beyond the dedication to work that would ennoble and make us all recognize ' Internal company to which we belong. Film

apparently less mordace rispetto al precedente, nella sua raffigurazione scomoda della realtà, attraverso una deriva più sentimentale e malinconica, ma che non rinuncia a descrivere e criticare a suo modo con coscienza e ironia il mondo che ci appartiene e per questo si esce da questa visione con uno spirito rattristato e forse un po' affranto, più meditabondo del solito, coscienti di ciò che si è visto e fruito, consapevoli di una visione significativa, grazie a Depardieu che riempie veramente lo schermo e non si spaventa nel mostrarsi nel suo decadimento edonistico.

Film che spiazza e che disturba, diverte e impensierisce, ma che lascia comunque soddisfazioni a chi sa apprezzare e guardare al di là della superficie delle immagini e dello directorial style more or less acceptable, but at the moment is a breath of fresh air in this season's cinematic visions and work with others to retrieve.
