A Lost underground French punk/new wave film shot in 1 week in
1979.
DJs spin following film!
La
brune et moi - a play on the French title for
the American 50s rock 'n' roll film The Girl Can't Help It (La
blonde et moi) - was shot in one week and a Saturday. Like it's
American counterpart, the story is a thin prop for the rockin'
performances.
The film stars scenester Anoushka and actor Pierre Clementi (The
Conformist, Belle de Jour) and features the following
bands on the soundtrack: Ici Paris, Artefact, Astroflash, Edith
Nylon, The Questions, The Party, Marquis de Sade, Dogs, Go-Go
Pigalles, Taxi Girl, Les Prives.
La Brune played for a week in a small theater in the left bank
in 1980 and vanished. The Cinematheque Francaise has a copy of
the film but the negative and original master audio are all gone.
Last year, rock 'n' roll movie archeologists Rockenscope uncovered
La Brune and found Philipe working in the film department at Le
Centre Pompidou in Paris and staged a screening at the underground
art space Les Voutes to a sold out crowd.
The film has now crossed the Atlantic! Castle Pink Frankenstein
and RockenScope are proud to bring to you the world of French
Punk rock, a world even most Frenchies don't know about! Afterward,
stick around for some suprise DJs to spin music featured in the
film - and more!
