talking about clash
Sunday, June 22, 2008
I miss the good old european Hip Hop scene these days, the dizzee rascal, roots manuva, Dj Mehdi, TTC, the exhilarating sense of danger and urgency that comes from their music.
Produced by Romain Gavras for Kourtrajmé, this video is gritty, violent, disturbing, and ultimately very controversial.
Some people say it reminds them of Man bites dog, personally I think it's more The Warriors meet Clockwork Orange, revisited sauce 2008.
Romain Gavras takes his film making to new heights, without any compromise, the quality of the image and the editing are amazing.
Don't stop at the realism and the violence of the image because you'd be cheated.
If you haven't seen the video, have a look
here for some screen grabs and an analysis of the action and characters.
