Scott Walker: 30 Century Man (2006)
Brilliant Music Doc
I had no idea who Mr. Scott Walker was until I came across this incredible and honest portrayal of the most enigmatic musician ever. The fact that he has inspired the numerous (and eclectic selection) artists that contribute to this doc represents the power of his musical genius. I highly recommend everyone checks out this doc; you'll leave the theatre/your TV screen, anxious to collect and absorb all his albums.
Kijak presents himself as an incredible interviewer and director just as much as Walker actually proves to be quite open to allowing the cameras into his world.
Moving, unforgettable, and unique. A MUST-SEE!
Monkey's Blood (2004)
A truly moving and beautiful short - not to be missed
Monkeys' Blood is a gentle, affectionate moving account of an exceptional day in a child's life. It beautifully describes the reality of the adult world and the child's perspective of it, and also the place where, at the end of one's life, our second childhood, these two worlds meld. The relationship between the child and the old man is quiet and moving - innocence and experience. I loved it. I saw it first at the Galway Film Festival and again recently (by complete fluke) when I met the writer on set of her current short 'RUBY XXX'.
Monkeys' Blood is one of those films that stays with you. Adrian Dunbar's sensitive direction was all that I love (and more) about Loach, Boorman and Lean. I found it hard to believe this was his directing debut. Amazing!
