My dad as a teenager, back when he was a trouble maker. Age 17
Willem Dafoe in his first role, The Loveless, 1982
Rebels Of Neon God, 1992
A film by Taiwan Based Malaysian Director Tsai Ming Liang, Depicting 2 teenage delinquents in Taipei in the early 90's.
The keyboard synth heavy 80's score along with the motorcycle night drifting scene haunts me.
impeccable taste and inspiring inspiration ! Hope Slim and LuLu end up in one of your short films one day..... looks like 2010 will be a year of good work from you . Happy new year A.

Its gonna be a good one this year. I can feel it.
love the loveless<33333333
ReplyDeletelooks like some damn good inspiration here
I'm surprised you even know it, not a lot of people have heard of it. Been really into 80's recreation of the 50's for a while.
ReplyDeleteIts so unrealistic, and overtly romanticized that it becomes something else entirely.
btw, you need to update dem photos more lil' girl. people like see them.
that and grease 2 make up some of my fave flicks but i barely know any 50s revival past that. they are quite hilarious but so enticing. i really love them, any more recommendations?
ReplyDeleteOh and i know, i know. i'm working on it!!
beside the obvious ones that were huge in the 80's (i.e. back to the future, american graffiti) I really liked repo man. although not really 50's related, but the overall mood and soundtrack was heavily inspired by it. highly recommend it.
