Kabuli Kid
Khaled is the kind of mouthy cab driver you might meet anywhere. He bitches about the traffic, the state of the roads, the Taliban. One day he picks up a young burka-clad woman who abandons her baby in the back seat of the cab. Thus begins a journey that will take us from one side of town to the other, past checkpoints (the code word is Kabul and the response is Kalashnikov), into orphanages and police stations, and through the bazaars. Barmak Akram’s film is alive with the earthy chaos of Kabul’s streets. It celebrates a people who will somehow survive the Russians, the Taliban and the Americans; who are busy and inventive in carrying on the messy business of everyday life. Helicopters still swoop overhead and orphans pick their way through the disused shell casings, but with this triumphant debut, Akram asserts the value of a dark humour, an
undiminished sense of irony, and an enduring humanism at the core of Afghani society.
It's Raining Pleasure
So here we are, and can it already be two decades later? In 1985 English music magazine NME
declared it to be the year of The Triffids. This Perth-based band was built around superb and versatile musicianship, but also around great songs. Now, performing in Australia for the first time in almost 19 years, the five remaining members of The Triffids and a select group of their friends (including Mick Harvey from the Bad Seeds, and The Church's Steve Kilby) celebrate the music and the memory of founding Triffid and chief songwriter, David McComb, who died at age 37 in 1999. This rockumentary covers the reunion-tribute concerts staged as a highlight of the 2008 Sydney Festival. The film includes the best of the performances along with interviews with members of The Triffids and their guest performers. It showcases McComb's songwriting genius, from early gems such as ‘Thanks For Everything’, recognised classics 'Wide Open Road', ‘Trick Of
The Light’ and 'Bury Me Deep In Love,' through to exclusive renditions of unreleased works from McComb's later years. It truly is raining pleasure, so come on out--you won't need an umbrella.
