For the past year, there have been rumors about the KroppCrew from KroppTown, set in the beautiful but bloody Saarland. BackDoorStorys is a smorgasbord of splatter, drug abuse, and grind tunes. In their 2005 debut film, the KroppCrew delivers an elegant, sometimes funny, somewhat lengthy, somewhat meaningless, but ultimately sick movie. For those unfamiliar with the amateur genre, this shit is perfection. This movie bleeds!

Melody

Dec 22, 1971

Although Gainsbourg and Birkin had appeared in a string of films since their magnetic collision in Pierre Grimblat’s Slogan, Melody was a bit of diversion from their collaborations since it’s a series of interwoven videos inspired by the Gainsbourgalbum. For '71 it’s a novel concept to bring visual life to an LP, but even more surprising are the short film’s amazing visuals that director Averty crafted using a wealth of video filters, overlays, camera movements and chroma key effects. Averty applies these in tandem with the increasing tone of Gainsbourg’s songs, which more or less chronicle an older man's affair with a young girl. Each song is comprised of steady, sometimes brooding poetic delivery, with refrains timed to the phrase repeats of each song, while Alan Parker’s buzzing guitar accompanies and wiggles around Gainsbourg’s resonant voice. The bass is fat and groovy, the drums easy but steady, and the periodic use of strings or rich vibrato makes this short a sultry little gem.
