Michel Gondry: Be Kind Rewind
French filmmaker, Michel Gondry, has done it again with his new film Be Kind Rewind. Exhibiting his talent and creativity, Gondry, now based in New York, has written a story of two childhood friends in Passaic, New Jersey who set out to remake lost films. He experiments with the reactions of his actors, using his alternative theory of movie making to leave a lasting impression. Be Kind Rewind is in theaters now, and you can catch a peak at the Tribeca Cinema. Gondry is also exhibiting his work at the Deitch Projects in Soho. With the identically titled name to his new film, the installation exhibition is intended to allow you to make your own film at his ‘amateur movie set’. Check it out until March 22.

Linda Farrow and House of Holland
It’s summer in New York, it’s sunny, and I’m bored of my everyday pair of sunnies. But who has the glasses for me? Designer Linda Farrow does! Her range has so many innovative designs, without the stripes on the lenses like the Kayne West glasses sold at every street vendor in the village. Linda Farrow has the most fabulous vintage shades, and the collaboration between her and House of Holland is a gem in a sea of sunnies.

Anyone who thinks black metal is too rigid and narrow a genre to have room for innovation would do well to check out Lifelover, a Swedish band that defies every convention of black metal while still remaining miraculously kvlt. The sextet wafts between languid, hallucinatory grooves that channel Iggy Pop and latter-day Cure to unhinged freak-outs that sound as if they’re emanating from the deepest, coldest forests of Norway.

Set in a remote Chinese village in the 1920s during a cholera outbreak and with a revolution bubbling in the background, The Painted Veil is a wonderfully tortured love story which excels on all levels.
