[Danza] DV8 – The Cost of Living (2005)

[trep]

[quote]
"The Cost of Living" was shot on location in Cromer on the Norfolk Coast in England: a typical, old-fashioned and faded seaside resort. The summer season has petered to an end and an air of desertion hangs over the town. Eddie and David are disillusioned street performers. Eddie is tough, confrontational and not afraid to defend his belief in justice and honesty. David is a dancer who has no legs; watching him makes you reconsider accepted notions of perfection. He is quietly determined not to let his disabilities or society's prejudices get in his way. A series of inter-linking scenes shows how Eddie and David negotiate life, fall in and out of relationships and survive day to day.
DV8's work is about taking risks. It is about personal politics, about breaking down barriers between dance and theatre, and above all, about communicating ideas and feelings clearly and unpretentiously. The company tells stories through extended naturalistic movement in a radical yet accessible way, shunning linear narrative and rejecting the traditional conventions of ballet and modern dance. It also challenges notion of dance by demonstrating how expansive and individual the medium can be.
DV8 produces films as well as their stage work. Their award winning films include "Dead Dreams of Monochrome Men", "Strange Fish" and "Enter Achilles".

"The Cost of Living" has won numerous awards including:
Prix Italia 2005, TV Performing Arts, Milan
Rose d'Or 2005, Arts & Specials, Lucerne
Sette Jury Prize, International Festival of Films on Art 2005, Montreal[/quote]

I think it was awesome. Relatively little dance, it's a sweet little experimental piece. Highly recommended.

On the other hand, the DVD was terrible. A messily interlaced NTSC (from the UK?) fake 16:9 thing, I could do nothing more than deinterlace it as IVTC left it jerky, and it's definitely a movie you want to see smooth, even if it has a little ghosting.

Here's my take on it:

I was going to put a [dance] tag before the name of this rip in order to make searches easier, but I don´t dare. Do you think it's suitable?

I already did something similar HERE ... but used "[Danza]" instead of "[Dance]" ... also, just edited the Keersmaeker post with the same tag
...
don't know ... if you finally go for that [Dance] tag i'll edit both posts ... don't really care that much ^^

BTW, last time ( like 2-3 days ago ) i had my emule on i was stuck on 70% with that .mov file and no full source ... -_-

Lauri, no probs, when they dance they really do: I put the tag myself
