The Agony and the Ecstasy
Favourite music docs/films
The new documentary about ryuichi sakamoto was very serene and beautiful, really brings his ethos down to earth but is still really inspiring. Combines his experience with cancer, his last album, and the tsunami, among other things. Very nice portrait
The first part of DOWC is fantastic as well, the music is better too. Still looking forward to seeing part 3.
Many hilarious bits of DOWC pt.2 but the ‘Russian Winter’ song and floundering attempt to set fire to USSR flag is probably the highlight for me. It’s also worth pointing out that the people involved are often so repulsive that it can be a bit depressing at times.
i stumbled upon these videos some days ago. great explanations in a short amount of time and fun to watch. check out the others as well!
love this series, this and borders are the two series on vox i think are really pushing what youtube journalism can be

More a “we brought a camera along”, than a documentary . . .
Shows a side of dj culture that seems lost today

Missing the time when djs didn’t have to act all serious and cool!
Where the recipe didn’t exist yet . . .
It really is a lovely little piece of film, but sadly it is a mockumentary made to promote the album by Tod Terje. Nonetheless a very nice way to spend 15 min, and I’ve seen it several times myself.
