| Francis Macdonald & Harry Pye - Sympathy For Jean-Luc Godard |
So, if you take one member of
Teenage Fanclub, force him to collaborate with a London based artist on a
series of songs and videos you could reasonably expect this first taster to be
gentle, acoustic tinged pop with a Belle and Sebastian tone and some charming
black and white animation. Well, expect away because that's exactly what you
get with 'Sympathy For Jean-Luc Godard'. The gentle repeated refrain of 'Je
t'aime Godard' is a beautifully soft expression of love whilst the counter argument
of 'Je n'aime pas Monsieur Guy Ritchie, his films mean nothing to me' shows
off the understated sense of humour of Macdonald. One could argue that this
goes on a bit at nearly seven minutes in length but if you think about it more
as an animated short film with a continuous film then it makes more sense and
you'll be able to sleep better at night. Delightful stuff and I look forward to
hearing/seeing the rest. Especially if there is a short folk song about just
how bad that film 'The Holiday' is. Seriously, that film made me angry on the
inside and I can't forgive it for that.
