Do as many countries as you like and you can do other choices for the same country in other posts (need not be definitive choices). I will start with the US.
The US: Band: Swans Album: Bloom by Beach House TV Show: Twin Peaks Film: Harold and Maude |

^ Young actually is a duel citizen now, both Canadian and American. I have Canadian, British and Australian citizenships, but it would be weird to call myself anything other than Canadian,

I put down Serge Gainsbourg's Histoire de Melody Nelson but then quickly changed it to Magma's debut. We can always do more for countries.

^ I'm guessing Black Rain was the original version of the hollywood film that was made by Ridley Scott and starred Michael Douglas and Andy Garcia?

They both came out in 1989 and are not related. Kuroi Ame (Black Rain) is about a woman who initially survives the bomb dropped on Hiroshima.... It's done in black and white, meant to evoke film from the 40s. Not a film I feel like seeing again due to the subject matter, have watched it more than once, and it had a strong impact on me. EDIT: The word I wanted is haunting. That is so evocative of the time due to the look and music. This is the trailer and I see that the whole thing with English subtitles is available on youtube.

I've long been interested in the confluences of arts, and people's appreciation across media and countries. I have gravitated towards subtitled films since I saw Das Boot in the cinema as a kid, and I have long loved to watch subtitled TV shows. My wife is East Asian and she loved films and shows from around the world (now mostly Korean) and we shared a love of so-called art house cinema. And I am interested in seeing things from around the world, but for non-English productions, I have watched many more Chinese, Japanese (especially as I worked in Japan), Korean, French, Scandinavian, Spanish, German, Polish and Italian films and shows (well for TV shows, not so many from Italy) than most other places. And watched a fair amount of Turkish TV (love the language).
Again, these are not definitive lists and is more of an indication of tastes across various media for me (but of course I only choose that which impacted me). Italy Favourite Musical Artist: Ennio Morricone Favourite Band: Area Favourite Album: Picchio dal Pozzo's self-titled Favourite Film: Life Is Beautiful Favourite TV show: Curon (Italian/German co-production) |
