Too edgy for the mainstream, Martin Sherman’s influential play is nevertheless transformed into an admirable, well-crafted show. In Hitler’s Berlin of 1934, being gay means death, or a living death in a ‘protective custody’ camp. Clive Owen, Lothaire Bluteau and Brian Webber find themselves on the way to Dachau, a new Circle of Hell. Yet even in a forced labor camp, the human spirit prevails. The British-made picture features Ian McKellen, Mick Jagger, and several other notable stars in their salad days.

Kate Bush, legendary musician from the 1980s and beyond, just directed a short sci-fi film to accompany the new release of her 1989 song "Deeper Understanding".
Kate Bush's dramatic arrival on the new wave music scene at age 19 in 1978 with the hauntingly beautiful song "Wuthering Heights" earned her a reputation for stirring, gothy, emotional and original music that all dark souls could appreciate.
Bush has a new album called Director’s Cut out on May 16, and to celebrate, she's re-releasing her 1989 song "Deeper Understanding" about... technology, alienation, and computers. Even more relevant today, it would seem.

Coltrane is taken over by the spirit of the computer (played by Albert Bush,...
