Brilliant and touching
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
View MoreVery interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
View MoreIt is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
View MoreI'm blown away by every element of this film....the music, the art direction, the subject matter...all of it captures you deeply and you come away with a real sense of understanding.The honest commentary from these artistes is exactly what the music industry needs more of - uninhibited, unapologetic stand points. But it's not just hot air and opinion that we're hearing - these guys have the determination and commitment to their art to see their visions through, regardless of whether it makes them popular or not. Highly recommend this film for it's refreshing and perceptive approach. Really makes you stop and think. Hauntingly beautiful too.
View MoreAt the beginning you'll find the movie kind of interesting, but each second that passes it becomes more than a movie; my senses got caught with the music that Steven creates and, even when he was the Star in the film, Lasse is the one that made possible this, his ideas complement what Wilson is trying to show. I really enjoyed it, I went to watch a "movie" and at the end of the credits I was more than satisfied with the result. The film shows the description about Wilson's career, since the beginning in his musical life and how does it evolves until our times. What's Wilson's perception about the ipods, the cellphones, the technology that disrupts our minds? These topics and more are debated in the film. Finally, this movie is perfect for those who are Steven's fans or those who loves the photography, cinematography, who are worried about the society in our time, those musicians who could discover a different point of view about this job. Hope you'll like it.Sorry if I had some mistakes
View MoreI saw Insurgentes on CPH:DOX International Film Festival in November 2009. It's a brilliant piece of work done by Lasse Hoile. Everyone who loves music, the ideas and thoughts behind it should do themselves a favor and see this documentary - NO... you must see this film! It really gives you something to think about. For many years, Hoile has been an acclaimed artist, photographer, graphic-artist, writer, film-maker/director, and cinematographer. With this documentary One can clearly see his talent. In Insurgentes is like seeing his photo-art put together one a string ... it is well made. Steve Wilson must be a very, very happy man.
View MoreI've always wondered what's inside Steven's brain? How does it work? How does he create such amazing music?... And I keep wondering... But, Insurgentes might give you an idea of this. You'll see great musicians that share a lot of Steven's ideas, wondering "What's wrong with music these days". Is music still a form of art or just a horrible business that someday will get you? Lasse on the other hand, gives us a dark and extraordinary image of what he does, always taking simple things and making them look like something coming out of Dario Argento's mind.Trust me, this is part of the music history, 20 years from now will see this as The Wall or Tommy. And I'll be part of it.Kindest Regards.
