Best opening sequence in a movie? Gotta be THE HUNGER followed closely by TRAINSPOTTING. Masterclasses in getting you immediately into the zone of what’s in store with big bold song-forward music and bonkers brilliant editing/sound work.
As intricately crafted as a symphony score (if not exactly abiding by classical filmmaking mores), Richard Shepard’s “The Perfection” is a genius two-hander about an ex-concert cellist and the gifted successor who takes her place at an elite music academy.
Guess someone’s gotta go to Sundance next year (*points thumbs at self*). Gregg Araki’s hot-mess teenage apocalypse trilogy exposed me to so much music ❤️ I’d play-pause thru the end credits on VHS to write down all songs used & Napster them (I later bought them #NoStealing )
