Saw the movie Mammoth last night at the Ridge Theatre. Really happy that I managed to get to at least one VIFF showing. It was really good. They really nail down the now aesthetic; I’ve never seen a movie that looks so perfectly current. Gael Garcia Bernal plays a web 2.0 entrepreneur about to cash in on some serious scrills, and his clothes have that nouveau riche/new cool vibe to them. It was as if dude’s first paycheck went to buying new sneakers and jeans and comme des garcons polos. Michelle Williams was great. Babe singers on the soundtrack, globalization and shit.
You sold me. Upon some IMDB research I guess parts of it takes place in the Philippines too…I need to see this movie. EDIT: after seeing the trailer, I need to point out that Ladytron does have more songs besides “Destroy Everything You Touch”.
