The wait is over

How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful

For all Carminians who patiently waited for four years, the british royals of alternative music come back!Florence and the Machine announces their new album  “How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful”,  and as a marketing campaign they already released TWO music videos. The second is from the song "What Kind of Man"  and has over one million views already in Youtube. Alvise wants to note how artists now at days chose these platform to reach their fans, and that is has become a popular way of distributing news in the music world. 
Its interesting how the artists that want to return with different airs can easily provide a music video that will encompass their new style without even having to reach out for interviews and other sorts of channels.In an article on Rolling Stones florence's intention for the new album is quoted as followed: "It was sort of a crash landing," Welch said of her time off. "I guess although I've always dealt in fantasy and metaphor when I came to writing, that meant the songs this time were dealing much more in reality. Ceremonials was so fixated on death and water, and the idea of escape or transcendence through death, but the new album became about trying to learn how to live, and how to love in the world rather than trying to escape from it, which is frightening because I'm not hiding behind anything but it felt like something I had to do.”


Take a walk and think about it:
Alvise has it doubts about the meaning of the music video as it portrays  the artist being harassed in an “artistic” manner by a group of men. He says that the continuous sexual implications on the distribution of media can go two ways, either the artist are wearing off the foundations of the real meaning  of  their musical expression in order to gain controversy and therefore audience, or the artists  are embracing their sexual issues with more confidence and create metaphors  that  aid their artistic intentions?
What do you think about the implications of this tendencies in the viewers?

Are you in the mood to hear more about the new film "Mood Indigo" and its director?

In a couple of interviews Michel Gondory, (the director)  talks about why this film 

could be the most diversified work he had ever created; He implemented various thematics from his previous movies and mixed in a palette of vintage technologies. This nostalgic man views his raw movie footage on VHS. It wouldn't be a surprise that for the movie he uses "Minitel" a computer-like apparatus from the ’80s as fantastic GPS.  He uses a  lots practical effects such as stop-motion and  in camera effects to create a surrealist environment, he is deeply attached to the effects of each technology and how can it be used to present and idea, he really does not go with the feint of the innovations on technology, instead  he keeps his landscape as wide as possible, which allows his movies to have a unique tonality and Originality. That's why  "Le Ecume du Jours" is a movie that Alvise definitely invites you to watch, it has a lot of artistic qualities and is engaging and full of emotions. Plus it has Audrey Tautou as the main muse. What a croissant! 

As a side note: the movie comes from an absurdist novel so you may encounter a seemingly  meaningless propose in the overall progression, move along and let Duke Ellington fill your cup.

Another side note:
 Funny quote from the ironic director:
 "See, I don’t have an iPhone, so I really go to YouTube and Vimeo on the net. So I miss out on a lot of things. But I can’t use an iPhone, because I can’t work out the touchscreen." 
-Michel Gondory

Got Netflix?

Variations of Carmine: Spanish Carmine

 Welcome, welcome little Carminians. For you, who are fond to foreign originality, Alvise is pleased to announce that Netflix is offering a brand new platform for foreign industry. Check it out!

Adaptations to famous american shows are some trends that Netflix is following to enhance its international impact while giving help to foreign producers to wide up their game. As you can imagine, Netflix  is financing the Mediterranean and French version of the acclaimed series "House of Cards".

 Europeans are happy about it, Joris Evers, a Netflix spokesman in Amsterdam offered his unparalleled support when he commented:  “We’re at a scale where we can economically create original content that debuts exclusively on Netflix. By personalising promotion of the right title to the right member, we have a large opportunity to promote our original titles.”

Netflix also gives importance to cultural delights that adapt to each charted audience.

In UK, Netflix gives the british “The Crown,” a series about the honorable Queen Elizabeth and her reign. In Mexico, on the other hand, Netflix is funding a Spanish-language comedy series that includes the element of soccer as is main focus. 

As you can see Netflix is on to world dominance.

Apart from the nationality issues, Netflix is also promoting creative animation works. That is super cool because it  makes possible to independent series like “Wakfu” to be introduce without being eclipsed big animation giants and the economic drain for exposure. As Olivier Comte, the managing director of Ankama, put it into words:“The business model of animation is honestly only possible if you are capable of being broadcast in many countries, because animation is quite expensive,”

Carminians, Netflix is offering chances to globalise entertainment channels and is giving opportunities to creative excursionists on entertainment industry. What do you think about it? Alvise thinks is a nice way to add a more palatable visual buffet in the confines of the virtual webs.But: Should we allow the diminishing of potentially substantial foreign material  by creating reheated american hits? Or: Tell Netflix to promote more authentic productions of the territory in the spotlight?

Feel free to comment,

But don´t fall down the stairs.
