La patiserie es para Francia una cuestión idiosincrática. La excelencia no es algo a lo que la crema de los patissières franceses aspiran, sino algo que necesitan. Esa necesidad tiene un curioso título honorario: Mejor Obrero de Francia, categoría exclusiva a la que se accede luego de superar tres días intensivos de hornear y moldear con precisión, delicadeza y velocidad. El tándem Pennebaker y Hegedus nos lleva a la cocina de ese mundillo y observa, con tierna complicidad, a los sufridos candidatos en su rally culinario, al ritmo dulce de Django Reinhardt. Hay algo conmovedor en ver a estos tipos maduros construyendo esculturas de azúcar como nenes, embelesados con su propia creación mientras a su alrededor se los ausculta con el rigor de un campo de concentración.

Nine o'clock on Monday morning, August 18, 1969: while the work force was starting the day, Jimi Hendrix was taking the stage at Woodstock. While hundreds of thousands had already left, 25,000 people remained to see this incredible performance. Hendrix, along with drummer Mitch Mitchell and bassist Billy Cox, offered masterly renditions of the songs of the recently disbanded Experience ("Hey Joe," "Foxey Lady"), and gave a preview of the blues-based Band of Gypsys ("Izabella," "Hear My Train A Comin'"), as well as Jimi's era-defining rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner." Though the weekend had witnessed some landmark performances by other great artists, this performance from Hendrix is regarded by many as the defining moment in a festival ripe with defining moments.

Concierto en directo del grupo inglés de música electrónica Depeche Mode, ofrecido el 18 de junio de 1988 en el estadio Rose Bowl de Pasadena (California) y correspondiente a la gira "Tour for the Masses" con motivo de su álbum "Music for the Masses" de 1987. Dará lugar al famoso álbum en directo "101" publicado en 1989, primer álbum en directo del grupo y también su primer álbum doble. Este concierto fue el número 101 -y el último- de la gira, motivo por el que este álbum recibió este título. Además sirvió de base para el documental "Depeche Mode: 101" de Pennebaker en 1989. El concierto no está completo, y únicamente se incluyen 10 de los 18 los temas que se tocaron esa noche, ya que Pennebaker desconocía totalmente al grupo hasta antes de que se le encargara el documental, y se le dio total libertad acerca de como captar al grupo. Según el site oficial de Depeche Mode, las 8 canciones restantes sólo fueron grabadas en audio para la edición del álbum.

It's no exaggeration to say this might be the most intense and groundbreaking 45-minute performance in the history of rock. Jimi Hendrix's debut American set at 1967's Monterey Pop Festival is generally considered one of the most radical and legendary live shows ever. Virtually unknown to American audiences at the time, even though he was already an established entity in the UK, Hendrix and his two-piece Experience explode on stage, ripping through blues classics "Rock Me Baby" and Howlin' Wolf's "Killing Floor," interpreting and electrifying Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone," debuting songs from his yet-to-be-released first album and closing with the now historic sacrificing/burning of his guitar during an unhinged version of "Wild Thing" that even its writer Chip Taylor would never have imagined. Hendrix uses feedback and distortion to enhance the songs in whisper-to-scream intensity, blazing territory that had not been previously explored with as much soul-frazzled power.

The filmmakers accompany Alan Schneider, director of the American premieres of most of Beckett's plays, and producer Daniel Labeille to the home of Billie Whitelaw, whom Schneider, ironically, had never met previously, and takes us through the rehearsal process of Beckett's newest play, including the recording of the dialogue, as almost all of it is voiceover. The final fifteen minutes of the film are the premiere performance in its entirety.

In 1973, John DeLorean was most likely going to be the next president of General Motors, when he turned his back on his $650,000 a year job and focused on a grander dream... to build his own car company (the first new American car company since 1925). In 1978, DeLorean built the most advanced auto factory in the world in under 18 months, from the ground up in a small suburb of Belfast, Northern Ireland.
