Dazed Magazineさんのインスタグラム写真 - (Dazed MagazineInstagram)「Once a music critic for LA Weekly who still listens to music “literally 24 hours a day”, #GreggAraki’s credentials for being able to transform hyper-cool, eye-popping youth dramas indie films into ear-popping alt-rock video-mixtapes were evident long before his mid-90s breakthrough. ⁠ ⁠ Even his own production company, ‘Desperate Pictures’, was named for a song by LA punk band X. ⁠ ⁠ And though dream pop heroes Robin Guthrie (of the #CocteauTwins) and Harold Budd would later provide ethereal scores for Mysterious Skin and White Bird in a Blizzard, Araki’s indelible mark on indie cinema had by then already been firmly established – with films like The Doom Generation and Nowhere pairing euphoric indie, shoegaze and dance music with kaleidoscopic colours and devastating one-liners to incendiary effect.⁠ ⁠ In 2023, the two latter films are receiving the ultimate makeover after decades of obscurity, with the director remixing audio and restoring video in “mindblowing” new presentations. In the case of Nowhere – the story of a gaggle of hip kids with names like Elvis, Lucifer, and Godzilla, who pop pills and have kinky sex while confronting giant lizardmen, gun-toting cults and televangelists – the movie is now closer to the director’s original vision of a “psychedelic, super-colourful and crazy Alice in Wonderland trip” than it’s ever been. ⁠ ⁠ With its “incredible soundtrack” key to that creative explosiveness, Dazed decided to catch up with Araki as he tours the States promoting the new cut – playing spin the bottle with some of the best needle drops from the LA party cult classic. ⁠ ⁠ Crank it up through the link in our bio 🔗⁠ ⁠ 📷 Nowhere, 1997 + The Doom Generation, 1995⁠ ✍️ @jamesbalmont」11月5日 1時45分
