Valdimar Jóhannsson’s Icelandic-Swedish-Polish drama “Lamb,” starring Noomi Rapace was awarded best film and actress for Rapace at the 54th edition of Sitges’ International Fantastic Film Festival of Catalonia, which wrapped Sunday.
The prizes add to an Originality Prize which the film received when competing at July’s Cannes Un Certain Regard.
“Lamb,” a horror-comedy combo, follows protagonist Maria, played by Rapace, a woman living with her husband in the total loneliness of the Icelandic countryside. According to a Variety review, “creepy-funny-weird-sad ‘Lamb’ proves just how far disbelief can be suspended if you’re in the hands of a director — and a cast, and a SFX/puppetry department — who really commit to the bit.” Lamb is produced by Go to Sheep, Black Spark Film & TV and Madants with New Europe Film Sales and A24 attached.

In some respects, “Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon” — Ana Lily Amirpour’s latest feature, premiering at this year’s Venice Film Festival — could be called a return to form, or at least a return to the tropes and visual tendencies the Iranian-American director showed in her promising 2014 debut, “A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night.” After Amirpour’s disastrous collaboration with Netflix in “The Bad Batch,” “Mona Lisa” feels like a movie that is of a kind with her initial preoccupations. That is to say: like her first, , undermining audience expectations of their vulnerability in possibly supernatural ways.
The film begins with Mona Lee (a formidable Jeon Jong-seo), a 22-year-old Korean-American who has, for most of her life, been locked in a secure psychiatric unit, borderline catatonic and straitjacketed: until she escapes. In the opening scene, Mona’s sneering, vaguely Republican-sounding nurse taunts her, only to discover that the...

Karen O has covered Smashing Pumpkins’ “Bullet With Butterfly Wings” for an Amazon Prime original series, because nothing says “alt-rock” like Amazon. All kidding aside, it’s an excellent cover. Hanna, which arrives on the streaming service on Sunday, February 3rd, is based on the 2011 film that starred Saoirse Ronan as a teenaged assassin.
The Yeah Yeah Yeahs singer gives the Pumpkins’ 1995 classic an electro-goth makeover that feels very much like the kind of thing an angsty young killing machine would have in their AirPods. Her version replaces the original...

You need someone to play vulnerable and grizzled? Call up Nick Nolte. At 71, the actor's voice has never been more gravelly, nor his face more worn and he's been using it to great effect. He was outstanding in last year's unfairly slept-on "Warrior" and in many ways, he was emotional heartbeat of Michael Mann's canceled HBO series "Luck." He's been working at a clip lately, bagging supporting roles in Robert Redford's "The Company You Keep," "Gangster Squad" and "Parker" but now he's going to take a lead.
Nolte will star in music video director Chris Milk's feature film debut "Bitterroot." Originally slated to be a vehicle for Gore Verbinski, who is now taking on producing duties, the Michael Gilio-penned, Black List-approved script (originally titled "Black Hole") tells the story of an aging rancher in Montana who gets his life savings taken from him in a phone solicitation bank scam.

After years with The White Stripes (R.I.P.), collaborative projects like The Raconteurs and The Dead Weather, an ex-wife/bandmate that everyone thinks is his sister, and now a new solo album, Jack White‘s been a busy man. While he’s no stranger to film, he’s never composed a film score until now. According to Disney, they’ve hired the slightly mad musician to score The Lone Ranger, the forthcoming movie from Gore Verbinski. The director has worked most often with Hans Zimmer, but there’s no denying that White has incredible musical talent. As for movies, White worked with Alicia Keys on the Quantum of Solace song “Another Way to Die,” he was featured in It Might Get Loud, and he also appeared on “Rome” – the album from Danger Mouse and Daniele Luppi which was inspired by Spaghetti Westerns. It’ll be an interesting experiment to see how his vision and talent transpose...

We’re not even a full month into 2012 and one of our favorite female voices in music, Norah Jones, has plenty for us to look forward to. Just a few weeks ago, Jones released the second album behind her side-project The Little Willies – a group that focuses on covers from Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson and Dolly Parton – and now Billboard is reporting that super-producer Danger Mouse will take production duties on her upcoming fifth album, Little Broken Hearts, due for release as early as this spring.
Jones first teamed up with Mouse (aka Brian Burton), who is one of our favorite producers around, for his side-project, "Rome" – a unique collaboration with Italian composer Daniele Luppi, which was inspired by old spaghetti western soundtracks and boasted Jones and renaissance man Jack White as the voices behind the project.

Even if you don't know the name Chris Milk, you've seen his work, as he's directed music videos for Kanye West, U2, Green Day and Modest Mouse as well as that Google Chrome enabled "We Used To Wait" for Arcade Fire. Like so many other music video and commercials helmers, Milk is making the leap to feature filmmakering, lining up two projects last year: an adaptation of Danger Mouse and Daniele Luppi's album Rome (itself a tribute to spaghetti westerns and movie music) and the contemporary western of sorts "Bitterroot." Both projects come courtesy of the backing of Megan Ellison, and while we wait for those to get moving, Milk has knocked out another video. A trippy, animated spot for "Two Against One" has arrived from the Rome album, featuring the guest vocals of Jack White, and it's certainly memorable. In black-and-white and color, we probably need another spin...

Off the spectacular Danger Mouse-Daniele Luppi album Rome, one of our favorite underplayed tracks of 2011, "Two Against One" -- sung by Jack White -- now has an animation to go with it. NPR premiered the "equally dark and tortured" music video Saturday, with a promise from director Chris Milk of a future feature-length film based on Rome:
"Myself, Brian (aka Danger Mouse), and the producers Anthony Bregman (Eternal Sunshine) and Megan Ellison (True Grit), are currently developing the Rome project into a theatrical feature film. While the video for "Two Against One" is hand-drawn cell animation, the film would be live action. The music video is essentially the fever dream of the antagonist of the story. It's mostly his backstory, his life before the tale we see in the movie. If you have a fast computer with Chrome installed you can also see the interactive lucid dream of the protagonist at www.

The White Stripes may have called it quits earlier this year, but we’ve seen and heard plenty from former frontman Jack White since their demise. Adding yet another eccentric appearance to the list is word that White will appear on the History Channel’s “American Pickers” next week.
The show is admittedly addictive, following two friends/business partners as they scour various barns, homes and junkyards across the country in search of hidden antiques. The episode is set to air at 9Pm Est on January 9 and will feature pickers Mike Wolfe and Frank Fitz as they visit White’s Third Man Studios and label home in Nashville. The two will reportedly barter with the music icon over memorabilia, which will include the photo booth used in the music video for “Hang You From the Heavens” by one of White’s many musical projects, The Dead Weather.

Despite what the radio might have you believe, Adele was not the only artist with a song out this year. As much as we've enjoyed hearing "Rolling in the Deep," "Countdown" and "Party Rock Anthem," played ad nauseum, 2011 was also a bang-up year for the unchosen ones -- the Adeles, Beyonces and LMFAOs of a parallel universe. So in the spirit of making a few new discoveries before the year ends, we've compiled 25 underplayed songs we've been overplaying -- a modest sampling from the year that you can dance to at your new year's eve party, and groan to the morning after.

Whilst 2011 was a killer 12 months for games fans, cinema was crazily mediocre, but the music world was blessed with another good year. I was lucky enough to attend the Leeds Festival, one as usual set amongst a hectic summer schedule of mud, sweat and tears. I also found myself buying more albums as the year offered some impressively talented LPs. Below is a list of my top ten favourite albums of 2011. As I have quite a mainstream taste for music, I’d love some further suggestions on what you think are the best albums of 2011, enjoy.

Megan Ellison's Annapurna Pictures To Finance It seems acclaimed music video director Chris Milk has found a new best bud in everyone's favorite young, billionaire movie producer/financier Megan Ellison. Earlier in the month it was announced the pair were teaming on an ambitious film adaptation of the album Rome, a record that teamed Gnarls Barkley/Beck producer Danger Mouse and Italian composer Daniele Luppi on an album of spaghetti Western homages. But it looks like he's going to get something a bit less high concept for his first crack at a feature film. Originally developed as a directorial vehicle for Gore…...

Producer's collaboration with composer Daniele Luppi to be made into movie by music video director Chris Milk
Danger Mouse and Daniele Luppi's latest album, Rome, is on its way to the cinema. Music video director Chris Milk is to make a film inspired by the Jack White-assisted album, and based on a science-fiction novel by Alden Bell.
Danger Mouse and Luppi conceived of Rome as a film soundtrack, according to Variety. But its spaghetti-western sound is still an unlikely anchor for what is presumably a bonanza of special effects. Milk's film is reportedly an adaptation of Bell's 2010 novel, The Reapers Are the Angels, which was nominated for the Philip K Dick award. It is the story of a girl "born into a post-apocalyptic world who must survive by her wits while finding moments of simple joy". But producers claim this is more than a movie: they are planning...

It feels like every type of pre-existing story has been adapted for the medium of film — even albums. It’s almost always concept albums — i.e., ones that have a story — getting the treatment, with a few notable examples being The Who‘s Tommy & Quadrophenia, and my favorite, The Wall. A movie based on Green Day‘s American Idiot is currently in the works, just as Trent Reznor is attempting to get his Year Zero on HBO as a mini-series, after feature plans didn’t work out.
Danger Mouse is the latest musician to have one of his works make it to the screen, with Variety telling us of a film that will use his recent album, Rome, as the “underpinning” for an adaptation of Alden Bell‘s The Reapers Are the Angels. The latter follows “a girl born into a post-apocalyptic world who must survive by her wits while finding moments of simple joy.

Earlier this year, Danger Mouse released his album _Rome_, with Italian composer Daniele Luppi and help from Jack White and Norah Jones that was an homage to spaghetti westerns of the past. The group even reunited the Cantori Moderni choir from _The Good, The Bad And The Ugly_ for the project. Well now the album that was inspired by films in inspiring a film of its own.

Brian Joseph Burton, the man the music world knows and loves as Danger Mouse, turns 34 today, and his many milestones are rather mindboggling. Growing up on the music of Pink Floyd and Portishead, Burton fit right in while living in London, where he moved to make a name for himself as a trip-hop DJ but instead found himself focusing on making hip-hop beats. But it was a moment of true serendipity that led Burton to where he is today.
While cleaning around his apartment and listening to the Beatles’ White Album, Burton came across his a capella copy of Jay-z’s The Black Album, and inspiration struck. After completing one song successfully and with surprising ease, Burton took to mashing up the entirety of both albums, creating The Grey Album. The result was clearly not exactly legal since it was the music of two separate iconic acts...

Hard rockers Seether debut at #2, and Il Volo crack top 10 following 'American Idol' performance.

Lady Gaga will surely end Adele's reign next week, but for now the British chanteuse continues lording over the Billboard 200 with her smash album 21. According to figures provided by Nielsen SoundScan, the unstoppable "Rolling in the Deep" singer will notch her ninth non-consecutive week at #1 thanks to sales of 138,000, which bring her U.S. totals to nearly 1.9 million so far.
Way behind at #2 are hard rockers Seether, whose Holding Onto Strings Better Left to Fray comes in at #2 with sales of 61,000.
The only other debut in the top 10 is from pop-opera trio Il Volo, whose self-titled album has a modest bow at #10 thanks to 23,000 units moved, a soft total considering they appeared on the penultimate "American Idol" performance show.
The rest of the top 10: Now 38 (#3, 50,000); Jason Aldean,...

Lady Gaga will surely end Adele's reign next week, but for now the British chanteuse continues lording over the Billboard 200 with her smash album 21. According to figures provided by Nielsen SoundScan, the unstoppable "Rolling in the Deep" singer will notch her ninth non-consecutive week at #1 thanks to sales of 138,000, which bring her U.S. totals to nearly 1.9 million so far.

What’s most shocking about this long-gestating collaboration between the increasingly polymath-tastic Danger Mouse and Italian composer Daniele Luppi is how un-cinematic it is. To be sure, Rome is designed to be taken in like it’s some sort of Cinemascope of Sound — hell, the album took longer to make than most of the classic Italian films of the ‘60s from which it draws inspiration — but the end result is much smaller, more intimate, and far less gregarious than the Cinecittà movies or spaghetti westerns of the ‘60s and ‘70s. Although Danger Mouse and Luppi go right to the source...

Like the films whose music inspired Rome, the album’s creation has a backstory: Bonded by an appreciation for the film soundtracks of Ennio Morricone, Gianfranco and Gian Piero Reverberi, and others, Brian “Danger Mouse” Burton and Daniele Luppi first set out to make their own take on that cinematic sound in 2005. Along the way, they secured a backing band of session players who graced some of Morricone’s most endearing scores, then nabbed a pair of collaboration-prone pop stars to give voice to the romantic yearnings within Rome: Jack White and Norah Jones. And while their work over ...

As the world waits for Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way’s” birth on May 23, the release slate for major artists slows to a trickle for a week. That means that Adele’s “21” likely gets one more week at the top of the Billboard 200 before Momma Monster takes over. In the meantime, there are some tasty treats out May 17. Danger Mouse & Daniele Luppi, “Rome” (Capitol): Danger Mouse (aka Brian Burton) and Italian composer Luppi wrote a number of songs based on classic Italian film music and recorded with many of the elder musicians who originally recorded on such historic...

Director Chris Milk’s new music video, released yesterday, introduces a young woman roaming a postapocalyptic landscape, and features a song from the coming album “Rome” by Danger Mouse and Daniele Luppi. But for some viewers the video’s main attraction will be the technology used to create it.
In “3 Dreams of Black,” which Milk prefers to call an interactive film, the viewer takes control in certain sequences, using the computer mouse to steer a stampede of morphing wildlife, or...

We have seen the beloved Italian genre inspire eveything from the films of Tarantino (Kill Bill), to the books of Stephen King (The Dark Tower), to the music videos of The Black Keys (“Howlin’ for You”). Now the “spaghetti westerns” of the 60′s will inspire a new album that combines the talents of Danger Mouse, Jack White, Norah Jones, and Italian composer Daniele Luppi. Rome, which hits stores May 17th, is a collaboration between the four and is said to be inspired by the iconic genre . Previously released tracks from the forthcoming album include “Two Against One” and “The Rose With the Broken Neck.” Beyond the break, you can listen to the album’s closing track “The World.”
Seattle radio station 107.7 The End was able to score the new track. With the recent rumbling behind Tarantino’s upcoming Django Unchained and the release of this highly anticipated album, the classic...

Audiophiles & musophobes beware, Danger Mouse is moving into the short film space.
The relationship between music videos and short films has been a mixture of artistic seduction and corporate commercialism since the 80s, with many of today’s top helmers having famously kicked things off in the music video medium – David Fincher (Madonna, Nine Inch Nails, The Rolling Stones), Spike Jonze (Sonic Youth, Beastie Boys, Daft Punk), Michel Gondry (The White Stripes, Paul McCartney, Björk) to name three of the best.
For innovations in the field, The Los Angeles Film Festival (June 16-26) does a great job of blending the formats with guest musical artists curating part of their line-up, and special attention to programming internationally-sourced music videos alongside more traditional fare.
Following the Danger Mouse/Sparklehorse collaboration with David Lynch on last year’s photography & music project “Dark Night of the Soul,” comes news of Danger Mouse’s latest effort,...

Oh to be Danger Mouse. To think that he was a music industry fugitive only a few scant years ago for his "Gray" album mash-up. Now he's apparently producing U2, has worked in a handful of influential rock projects from Gorillaz to "Dark Night of the Soul," Gnarls Barkley to Broken Bell to Beck to Black Keys. And now he gets to work with another savant, Jack White -- on tunes composed with famed Italian producer Daniele Luppi, gathered together for a project called "Rome." The pair had worked previously on efforts for Gnarls, Broken Bells and "Dark Night of the...
