A few weeks ago I saw Danny Boyle's new one Slumdog Millionaire which is a rather great feel-good but still gritty and realistic flick. The kids playing the lead characters at various ages are particularly wonderful. Unsurprisingly it's tipped for Oscars.
M.I.A- whose two albums would probably make my Top 20 records of all time- has worked on the music. Below is a taster of the film set to the DFA (James Murphy/ LCD Soundsystem) remix of Paper Planes.
This is also a good excuse to post the Davinche remix of Maya's classic Bucky Done Gone which came with one of the CD singles. If you don't know Davinche you should. He's one of the best grime producers around. "Whatcha want Bucky Done Gun?"

Good post- agreed on MIA.
ReplyDeleteCheck out the latest Addictive TV unofficial trailer for Slumdog Millionaire. And for a mix of video and grime, check the Max Payne one. Doubtlessly better than the actual film.
