BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND THE WIDE BLUE SEA
PROPOSITIONS – Twelve Selected Films
Between the Devil and the Wide Blue Sea, an excursion into European electronic music that, in its formal approach and use of tribal rhythms, leads the viewer to acknowledge the importance of sound in film, and thereby inverts the usual relationship of sound to image. Romuald Karmakar films groups such as Fixmer/McCarthy, Cobra Killer, Xlover and Alter Ego, whose hit single «Rocker» was filmed in Ibizas Amnesia with the tranced out audience in the foreground. Each of these bands, in its own way, reappropriates musical performance in this documentary that eschews both commentary and interviews, filmed in sequence shots, which allows the viewer to follow the structure of a song as well as the performance itself. Between the Devil and the Wide Blue Sea is an extraordinary exploration of an underground scene that has gradually turned into a worldwide culture.
