Taylour Paige on Starring in Kendrick Lamar’s Short Film !!We Cry Together!!: *It Was the Right Time, Right Place, Right People*

Gambar
  When Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers, Kendrick Lamar’s fifth studio album, was released on May 13, one of the album’s standout tracks quickly became “We Cry Together,” as much for its raw subject matter as its slightly irregular format. (The song sounds more like a radio play or rap battle than it does a traditional hip-hop offering.) Taylour Paige (Zola, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom) assumes the role of Lamar’s star-crossed lover his trigger and his muse and today the hyperreal song has come to life further with the worldwide debut of a six-minute short film of the same name. The short film based on the album’s eighth track, in which a quarreling couple communicates both everything and nothing, was produced by Lamar’s creative collective pgLang and shot with live audio and no cuts in a single take a fitting approach for an album rendered in blues and Blackness, woven with elements of both trap and free jazz. “We Cry Together” (the song) was recorded in February 2020, and the accom...

‘Athena’ Review: Director Romain Gavras Ignites the Paris Projects with Technical Virtuosity

Gambar
  The Netflix thriller in Venice competition chronicles the conflict that rips apart three brothers when video circulates of their youngest sibling apparently being killed by cops. With his incendiary 2019 debut feature, Les Misérables, director Ladj Ly brought the urban unrest, the police brutality and the festering social and racial inequality of the Paris banlieue drama La Haine hurtling into the 21st century, its belly aflame with righteous anger and indignation. Ly serves as a writer and producer on Romain Gavras’ Athena, which is both a companion piece to those films and a thundering amplification of their themes. Where the earlier works built to stunning crescendos of violence, Athena is a live grenade, beginning in full ignition mode and dialing up its intensity throughout with virtuoso technique. That latter factor will surprise no one familiar with the output of Gavras, son of renowned Greek director Costa-Gavras, who made a mark with his dynamic music videos for artists ...
