Wojnarowicz: F–k You F-ggot F–ker

The life of a revolutionary visual artist.
I knew little or nothing about David Wojnarowicz’s work, to my regret… It was with great pleasure that I now know his work.
A unique life, with a lot of toil and struggle, both with himself and with society.
A soul disfigured by life, but strengthened by art and the will to be.
I strongly recommend the documentary to everyone, because those who know him will perhaps better understand its path and those who do not know him will be able to exalt such a great work.

Last night I was standing around here looking at my photographs! They’re my life and I don’t know what to anybody to distort that, just for their comfort. Testing one, two, three…

The Velvet Underground

Whether you like or hate them, The Velvet Underground documentary it’s a piece of art!

History is exposed in this doc, not only the bands but also the 60’s explosion of art in its most ubiquity… The caldron that fostered miscegenation of arts was presented in the form of a unique band, The Velvet Underground!

To find the roots of alternative music in all its aspects within this doc!

Sunday morning, brings the dawn in
It’s just a restless feeling by my side
Early dawning, Sunday morning
It’s just the wasted years so close behind

Woodstock 99: Peace, Love and Rage

Music has and will always be the art that can bring people together, make them feel unified, and believe in themselves…

Watching this documentary blew my mind… How can something so pure become this rage, this warzone that Woodstock99 became?!…

Everyone who enjoys music must watch this documentary, so each one can have a possibility of questioning itself about these facts, this monstrosity, this need to rage against each other… And finally, see it as the documentary it is, about a specific festival, and what should never ever happen again!

Let love rule with music, always!

There’s a festival grounds in Germany, it was literally built by Hitler. And we’ve played there a bunch of times, it’s a great venue, lots of fun. The airbase was less hospitable than the venue built by Nazis.

I really, really enjoyed this documentary! It can bring us way back up ’til the ’90s!

OK, I might be one of the fewest people in the world who didn’t know Soleil Moon Frey, sorry about that!

Nonetheless, the documentary it’s great… All that footage taken by her and her friends deserved to be delivered back to the light!

And you will find also lots of actors, actresses that are now at their peak or where!

It is on ode to friends, to life, and to the ’90s.

And after that, listen to the beautiful original song of the one and only Linda Perry… It is absolutely overwhelming, heartfelt, and pitch-perfect! It sums up the documentary in a way that it deserved an Oscar.

“Here I am, facing myself
Peeling away emotions I felt
Wouldn’t change a moment of my life
So many walked through these doors
Falling through windows to so much more
We held onto each other to get by
Put up a fight
Enough is enough
We were just kids
Falling in love
Trying to play a game we couldn’t win
So, where are you now?
Where were you then?
Do you belong?
Have you found a true friend?
And who you making love with along the way?
I’ve been fearless
Trying to be strong
Yeah, I’ve been living on the edge
For so long
I’ve been waiting for light
To show me the way
Help me piece it together, frame by frame
I’m holding on
Watching my past
The ones that made it
And the ones that couldn’t last
It’s all right here
I wrote it to myself
What I wanted wasn’t crazy
All I needed was some light
In my life”

An astonishing trip back to the mid-’90s, with the one and only Alanis Morissette!

Watching this documentary was a thrilling experience… Hearing these tunes brought me back to a bunch of thrilling moments lived, laughed, cried, screamed at that particular point of my life!

She deserved every single love given by her fans, for she opened her heart with us all and gave a soundtrack to moments that made us who we are today!

It was a trip watching her backstory up until the moment Jagged little pill was written!

Girl power, no doubt about it, but foremost, pure energy transformed into timeless music!

Thank you very much, Alanis!

You nailed it!

You won!

What a story, what a life, what an icon, what a musician, what a WOMAN!

Tina it’s a documentary with a mandatory visualization!

The life of Tina Turner it is a story which shows us that nightmarish relationship can not and will not define us, and most of all, dreams can come true!

I will not alongue this post any further because all need to watch this!

It’s the strength of a woman!

Thank you Tina, from the bottom of my heart, for sharing your story with us all!

Bem-haja!

The New York Times presents: Framing Britney Spears

On By estrangedztIn documentaryLeave a comment

Britney Spears is an artist known worldwide… Like it or not, her music will be at every playlist of the late 90’s and early 00’s… She took the pop world by storm and crave her name at the music annals!

Truth be told, I’ve heard a few years back something about some kind of conservatorship, but got lost in the midst of other news….

When I read about a documentary from the New York Times about Britney I got startled… What could have happened to this pop star to get the attention of this world-famous newspaper…

Curiosity got me on the way to watch this documentary and I have to say, if this is truly what happened it choked me… Such a young hard worker woman, an icon, who lost her own freedom in such a deviant way…

Make your own judgement if you dare watch this doc….

Whitney

An amazing documentary about an outstanding artist, the one and only Whitney Houston!

I was overblown by her story… She was born to become a superstar… The voice, the entertainment, the music, the movie… Everything looked easy, because of her unique talent!

But like they say, the brightest flame burns quicker, unfortunately for us all…

Nonetheless she still lives and will live forever through her art, her voice, her joy, her legacy, her purest love to music 🎶

Thank you Nippy!
