Cinema Paradiso MMC Auditorium Film programme 2 December 2013 to 8 December 2013 We bring you a NEW series – Music Is the Best! The films featured in this series are part of the ongoing Av Goo Goo Muck Project (facebook: AV Goo Goo Muck) that has brought to AV the history of rock ’n’ roll class in the Future School, the happenings music at the Youth Centre and much more are yet to come! Quoting Frank Zappa, “information is not knowledge; knowledge is not wisdom; wisdom is not truth; truth is not beauty; beauty is not love, and love is not music. Music is the best!” Rock historians believe that rock and roll was one of the first music genres to define an age group. It gave teenagers a sense of belonging. This involved absorbing the music via radio, records, jukeboxes, TV programs and also extended to films, clothes, hair, cars /motorbikes, and a distinctive lingo. The contrast in culture between the parents and the youths exemplified by rock and roll made the older generation constantly worry about issues such as juvenile delinquency and social rebellion especially since rock and roll culture was shared by different racial and social groups. Music is the Best series- Monday 2 December, 8:00 pm • CADILLAC RECORDS USA, 2008, Dir. Darnell Martin w/ Joshua Alsher, Tony Bentley, Biography-History-Drama, English w/ English subtitles, 109mins, Rated: R This film, directed by the TV veteran, documents the compelling true-life story of the Chicago record label that had helped the world discover legendary artists such as Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, and Chuck Berry. Founded in 1950 by Leonard Chess, Chess Records quickly gained a reputation as home to some of the most talented and influential blues artists. But giving these musicians an opportunity to bring their music to the world was no easy task, because along the way there was enough sex, drugs, and rock & roll to ensure that things were never boring. Music is the Best series- Tuesday 3 December, 8.00 pm • CRY BABY USA, 1990, Dir. John Waters w/Johnny Depp, Amy Locane Polly Bergen, and others, Comedy-Musical, English w/ English subtitles, 85 mins, Rated: R The film is a parody of teen musicals and centers on a group of delinquents in 1950s Baltimore, Maryland - who call themselves "drapes" and their interaction with the rest of the town and its subculture as the "squares". "Cry-Baby" Walker, a drape, and Allison, a square, create upheaval in their town by breaking the subculture taboos and falling in love. Think Grease but with freaks and weirdoes surrounding the attractive main characters. A deliberate exercise in ultra-bad taste! “To me, bad taste is what entertainment is all about. But one must remember that there is such a thing as good bad taste and bad bad taste.” J.Waters Music is the Best series- Wednesday 4 December, 8:00 pm • QUADROPHENIA UK, 1979, Dir. Franc Roddam w/ Phil Daniels, Lesli Ash, Philip Davis , Drama,-Music, English w/ English subtitles,117 mins, Rated: R London, 1965 - an array of young talented British actors bring back London's 1960s Mods and Rockers. Set against the soundtrack of The Who's 1973 mighty concept album "Quadrophenia", in the film working-class Jimmy is drug-induced Mod, who hates his job and is misunderstood by his parents. By night he comes alive, with the all-nighters, his pills and his scooter-riding friends. Life can’t get any better. However, there's the Brighton scooter run, where both Mods and Rockers converge, ending in the battle of the cults on Brighton Beach. What goes up must come down, and with Jimmy’s come-down begins with his downward spiral into paranoia and isolation, and the four-faceted mindset, quadrophenia. Music is the Best series- Thursday 5 December, 8:00 pm • CBGB USA, 2013, Dir. Randall Miller w/ Alan Rickman, Malin Akerman, Justin Bartha , Drama-Music, English, 101mins, Rated:R This film, named after the venerable punk-rock nightclub in the NY city, follows the story of Hilly Kristal's club which was conceived as a venue for Country, Bluegrass and Blues to what it ultimately became: the birthplace of underground rock 'n roll and punk. When Kristal had difficulty booking country bands in his club he opened his doors to other kinds of rock music, only on one condition – the groups could only play original music. He lived by the credo and supported the artist at whatever the cost. Kristal became well known as the godfather of punk giving breaks to bands such as Blondie, Television, Ramones, Talking Heads, Dead Boys and The Police.

The feature is filmed in some stunning locations including the snow-swept northeast and the subtropical south of China.
