SXSW Day #5

Music is in the house bringing multitudes of skinny boys in black spandex jeans.

The first film of the day was KUMIKO: TREASURE HUNTER brought to us by the Zellner brothers. Rinko Kikuchi is exquisite as the strange emotionally challenged woman who comes to the States looking for treasure in bumble fuck Fargo.  A beautifully shot film, an incredible lead actor and a surprise ending.  An art film in the classic sense.

THE INTERNET'S OWN BOY: AARON SWARTZ broke my heart.  A young suicide being hunted by the Feds for his desire to make information public.  Without a fee.  A brilliant mind who wanted to help the world and saw himself as a political being.  How shameful that our government went after this young man.  What a loss.

Been walking to the films from home  Getting tired.
