60 Years of The Umbrellas of Cherbourg

By - Nick Adrian For fans of musicals, bright cinematography, and the French New Wave By the early 1960s, the movie musical had started to run its course. Gone were the days of MGM’s elaborate Busby Berkley productions and Warner Brother’s Technicolor fantasies - what was once arguably one of cinema’s most popular genres was slowly dwindling. However, in France a group of young filmmakers were making “waves” over their […]

The Taste of Things

By - Nick Adrian For fans of French cinema, fine cuisine, and Juliette Binoche.

Glitterer – Rationale

In today’s scene, where the echoes of DIY ethos clash with the glossy facade of mainstream appeal, Glitterer is back once again, working through it all with their latest LP: "Rationale."  In a way, even though this album is not Glitterer's first record it is THIS bands first.  What started of as a solo side project of Ned Russin has now been fully realized and and this new fuller version […]

Lætitia Sadier – Rooting For Love

By - Jackie Lo If you like: Stereolab, Air, French Pop, electropop, conservation and environmentalism I admit I have a soft spot for French music. Well, a lot of things that are French actually. The language, the food, the film, the fashion, and the architecture and design.  Late summer of 2020, during the height of the covid-induced shut down, I even did an entire show dedicated to my favorite French […]

SIC PICKS February 19, 2024

Gareth’s Picks Buck and the Preacher (1972) Sidney Poitier's directorial debut is this well-made western that also stars the great Harry Belefonte.  Poitier and Belefonte are brilliant together as they tell a story of black men in the west, an often untold story.  Belefonte in particular, greatly enjoys playing a complicated preacher that steals and kills, with all of his usual charms, in spite of his hideous teeth which he […]
