테크노 음악의 선구자인 프랑스인 DJ 로랑 가르니에를 중심으로 테크노 음악의 탄생과 부흥을 다루는 예술적이고 시대적인 다큐멘터리. 공개된 적 없는 가르니에의 최근 월드 투어 영상과 아카이브 이미지를 통해 그의 열정적이고 선구자적인 면모를 놀라울 정도로 밀접하게 그리고 있다. 가르니에는 모든 어려움을 극복하고 자신의 열정을 좇으며 마침내 음악적, 사회적, 정치적 변혁을 일으킨다. 형언할 수 없는 집단적 음악 경험을 향한 찬사를 담은 작품이다.

Documentary about the selling off of remnants from legendary Manchester nightclub The Hacienda.
Mr. Supernature AKA Marc Cerrone or simply Cerrone has been a pillar of glittery four-to-the-floor disco anthems for nearly 40 years now. If you’re not familiar with the drummer, producer, composer, francofunkateer amongst countless other titles and roles, he’s kind of a god, on par with Giorgio Moroder, Nile Rodgers and the like. Pitchfork has gathered raw concert footage and interview with Rodgers, Bob Sinclar, Dave Haslam and the man himself (who chalks-up his fascination with electric music numbers to seeing Jimi Hendrix perform live in Paris as a teenager) to delve into the mans incalculable contribution to the DNAs of dance floor freakers and pop music alike (sampling years before it was adopted as hip-hop’s hammer and nail) and how he came to be so cherished by the greater funk cannon.

In the final days of the yuppie decade, the summer of ’89 saw a new type of youth rebellion rip through the cultural landscape, with thousands of young people dancing at illegal Acid House parties in fields and aircraft hangars around the M25. Set against the backdrop of ten years of Thatcherism, it was a benign form of revolution, dubbed the Second Summer of Love – all the ravers wanted was the freedom to party… The rave scene, along with the drug Ecstasy, broke down social barriers and even football hooligans were ‘loved up’, solving a problem the government had never managed to crack. But lurid tabloid headlines and cat-and-mouse games with the police eventually turned the dream sour, as the gangster element moved in at the end of the summer.
