Steve Reich is a legendary composer who was one of the pioneers of minimalism. He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Music, and the New York Times called him “America’s greatest living composer.” I had the incredible honor of getting to speak to Steve Reich about his piece Different Trains, written for string quartet and pre-recorded performance tape. It was first performed in 1988 by the Kronos Quartet, and they released a recording of it in 1989, which won the Grammy for Best Classical Contemporary Composition. Different Trains is a piece about World War II and the Holocaust. It’s made up of three movements: America – Before the War, Europe – During the War, and After the War. For this episode, Steve Reich breaks down the first movement, which was inspired by his own childhood experiences.

We were in a mood for Tarantino and decided to watch his debut. And itwas kind of nice to watch this right after The Hateful Eight, as Idiscovered that they share quite a few similarities.
Rewatching this after a lot of years, this was a great refresher. It’sstill his weakest movie, but everything else but a waste of time.Especially enjoyed Harvey Keitel’s performance. And that credit-scoreCoconut song.

A Tarantino film is always a guarantee to entertain me. This one mightbe not have a satisfying ending as his other movies, but nevertheless,it’s great. Love Ennio Morricone’s soundtrack!

With Ukraine so much in the news, I started listening to Jinjer again more. Hope they are well! Love this EP!

I come right out and say it: this is a lot like “The Big Lebowski” – butnot as good. The film was too long. That’s mainly because the story wastoo confusing to me to actually really care about what’s going on.
But individual scenes were very funny and enjoyable. Loved theperformances of Joaquin Phoenix, Josh Brolin and Katherine Waterston.Actually I liked much about how the movie was done otherwise. Butunfortunately, I found the parts greater than the whole.

Oh my god. This is a weird one. After initial doubts in the beginning, Iended up really enjoying this one. Beyond the brutal and disgustingparts is this actually rather loving relationship with the “father”. Iwas constantly on the edge of my seat wondering what’s going to happennext.
Visually great. And Agathe Rousselle was amazing!

I’m sometimes reluctant to watch older movies (it’s from 1974). But Ishouldn’t have had this concerns before deciding to watch this. Justoverall great whodunnit fun, with great acting. And pretty hilarious,too.

I don’t think I have anything good to say about this one. A combinationof kitschy and advertising-like visuals and a weak story with borderlineannoying music. I’m sorry.
