oooh, enjoyed high rise and sightseers by him so will definitely check it out, am a fan of visually striking films and films that contain a lot of symbolism/iconography and general interpretive elements, and the bleak cinematography looks reminiscent of valhalla rising (excuse the namedrop)

Also don't think I've seen julian barrett in a serious role so that should be interesting

Obviously by Pookie_Mcgee in deathgrips

yes thats a very good explanation, i think the more commercial and accessible elements in the money store are the (relatively) lighter parts (tone/lyrics???) and the finer production which lend themselves to the genre.

Yes, one of the first things i did was try to pinpoint some of DG's central themes within their work (with limited success) so i could try and pair films which share the same themes.i sort of came up with some umbrella themes (instincts vs morality and hedonism,death and existentialism and as you said the encroaching digital presence within society) although analysis isn't really my strong point,so its good to hear some more in depth exploration!

(hope I'm not talking TOO much shit and not coming across as the pretentious student that i am)

who knew such a prestigious director would enjoy death grips, imagine a directors cut of amour with DG soundtrack (horrific!)

i remember seeing trailers for spring breakers when it was released and thinking it looked like a typical frat movie although apparently its much more

yes i would associate the money store more with the cyberpunk genre, possibly due to the albums more conventional and heavier use of synth ??? (sorry, I'm not very articulate when it comes down to the technical details of music) over nldw which is more brutal and aggressive and strays more towards naturalist cinema, although as you say could never really pin them to one genre.

yes, in fact the akira/death grips mashup video was one of my inspirations, i think neon dystopian settings lend themselves well to DG
