MILES GODARD NOCTURNE Posted by: Nikatsu
Video duration: 323 seconds Jean-Luc Godard's Alphaville is a gorgeously photographed low-budget science-fiction film with an okay story. What it could use is some Miles Davis. If you've seen Louis Malle's Elevator to the Gallows, you know what I'm talking about. This Alphaville montage is set to Black Satin, from the Davis album On the Corner.

Bunuel and Angelo Badalamenti Posted by: Nikatsu
Video duration: 193 seconds A rough assemblage of moments from the Luis Bunuel comedy Illusion Travels by Streetcar. The Angelo Badalamenti song "Moving Through Time" (from Twin Peaks) just seems to bring out this lighthearted, neorealist-styled film's more dreamlike, irrational David Lynchian qualities.

Late Spring appreciation Posted by: Nikatsu
Video duration: 186 seconds Not really a trailer but a non-narrative gathering of beautiful images from Ozu's great film. Some movies deserve praise beyond words. Music from the album "Mali Music" -- by Damon Albarn and several Malian musicians. Related: afel, albarn, bocoum, classic, damon, diabate, japan, japanese, mali, music, ozu, toumani, yasujiro |

Two Stars (Tormatozz/Possession mashup) Posted by: Nikatsu
Video duration: 221 seconds The Russian band Tormatozz asked me to make them a video along the lines of my Tarkovsky mashup. So here's pieces of Andrzej Zulawski's 1981 "horror" film Possession, set to Tormatozz's song Two Stars. Both works are about love and separation, but one's a dream, the other a nightmare. Dig the contrast. Related: 1981, adjani, andrzej, berlin, classic, cult, experimental, horror, isabelle, love, neill, possession, sam, stereoptera, trailer, zulawski |

Nina Eats the Soul Posted by: Nikatsu
Video duration: 217 seconds Shamelessly sentimental mashup of Nina Simone and Rainer Werner Fassbinder. The idea is that Ali: Fear Eats the Soul is two films. The first is about two lovers dealing with the terrible, disapproving world. The second is about the two lovers, having conquered the world, dealing with what poison it has left in each other's system. Nina sings a song for each "film." Related: fear, hope, love, racism |

Tarkovsky Goblin Mashup Posted by: Nikatsu
Video duration: 130 seconds Andrei Tarkovsky's autobiographical art film The Mirror is not a horror movie, but it has plenty of frightening images. This crude montage slaps together some of those images along with Goblin's music for the Dario Argento horror flick Suspiria. It's interesting to see how certain images can be repurposed, cheapened or even deepened by music and editing. Related: andrei, argento, dario, goblin, horror, mirror, nightmare, surreal, tarkovsky |

Susana: Bunuel's Divine Light Posted by: Nikatsu
Video duration: 282 seconds Dreamlike (sometimes fetishistic) images from Luis Bunuel's Mexican melodrama Susana (1951), set to David Axelrod's song A Divine Light. The "God of Prisons" breaks Susana out of reformatory, and she escapes to a rancher's estate, where she proceeds to seduce and destroy every man in sight.

Fake Trailer: Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia Posted by: Nikatsu
Video duration: 139 seconds If I were a trailer editor for United Artists in 1974, um, my promo for Sam Peckinpah's masterpiece might look something like this. The music is Danse Macabre by Camille Saint-Saëns. Related: ballet, camille, peckinpah, saint-saëns, sam, slo-mo |

Fake trailer: John Woo's Bullet in the Head Posted by: Nikatsu
Video duration: 105 seconds Arguably action director John Woo's worst film, Bullet in the Head nevertheless makes amazing trailer/montage fodder. Good music helps: Here it's Roland Kirk's cover of Marvin Gaye's What's Going On. Related: crazy |
