Almost Zero

Takashi Miike is an extraordinary filmmaker, even if he works sometimes in circumstances that other directors might find ordinary, such as all of the genres that Miike tackles… which are, by a mild estimation, almost all of them. Name a kind of movie, Miike's probably done it, from family movie to samurai epic to just totally f***ed up way-past X-rated stuff, not to mention all of the Yakuza crime movies that by this time should be coming out of his nose from going over so often. But with Crows: Episode Zero, he found a way to tell a Yakuza story just a little different, by making it about the teenage kids (some of them, anyway) of the Yakuza who enroll in an "extreme" high school where it's basically not about learning anything but fighting and ascending the ranks to become the head of the school's bad-ass fightin' kids. It's the kind of movie that, if you are fourteen and watching it, it's like a near wet-dream of awesomeness. For the rest of us, the movie serves as lots of good fun.

Air — французский дуэт, основанный в 1995, музыку которого относят к жанру электронной музыки, в частности к стилю трип-хоп.
Участники дуэта — Николя Годэн (Nicolas Godin) и Жан-Бенуа Дункель (Jean-Benoit Dunckel). Звучание Air во многом унаследовано от синтезаторной музыки Вангелиса и Жана Мишеля Жарра, а также от пионеров психоделического рока Pink Floyd и от краутрокеров Tangerine Dream. С другой стороны заметно вляние французского шансонье Сержа Генсбура. В музыке присутствуют также джазовые интонации, особенно заметные в концертных импровизациях.
