13 Best Stills from Never Look Away (2018)

This sprawling German drama from Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck begins in the immediate aftermath of World War II and follows the first few decades of Kurt Barnert’s life in Nazi Germany. As a child, Kurt (Cai Cohrs) spends a lot of time with his young aunt Elisabeth (Saskia Rosendahl), who encourages him to pursue his interest in art. However, early in Kurt’s life, she’s diagnosed with schizophrenia and sent to Professor Carl Seeband (Sebastian Koch), who deems her unfit to live a functional life. She is executed as part of the Nazi euthanasia program. This continues to affect Kurt well into his adulthood.

As a young adult, Kurt (now played by Tom Schilling) studies art at university, where he meets and falls in love with Ellie (Paula Beer). At first, Kurt doesn’t realize that Ellie is Carl Seeband’s daughter; nor does Seeband realize Kurt’s relation to Elisabeth, whose death still haunts him. Kurt feels judged by Seeband, who disparages his artistic pursuits and seemingly unfulfilled potential. Seeband’s constant surveillance and suspicion strain Kurt and Ellie’s relationship.

Kurt tries to follow Elisabeth’s advice, which was to “never look away” in his search for the truth, but he struggles to find truth in his own artistic perspective. The film itself teems with artistry, with a beautiful score by Max Richter, and affecting cinematography by Caleb Deschanel. Every aspect of this film is steeped in authenticity, from Schilling’s laidback Kurt to shots that center the characters in sharp focus, and Elisabeth’s understanding of the Nazi regime. Even Kurt’s journey is inspired by the true story of German painter Gerhard Richter.

Here are some of the most compelling stills from Never Look Away.

Take a listen below.

In a recent interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, Florence Welch talked about drawing inspiration from Iggy Pop. “I was thinking about Nick Cave, I was thinking about Leonard Cohen,” she said. “I was thinking about how, in some ways, although everyone undergoes huge changes, their physical bodies – especially moving through touring – have been allowed to remain unchanged and they can commit their body entirely to the stage,” she said. “In the singing, I’m trying to still embody them. In the lower baritones, I’m trying to do a Leonard or a Nick or an Iggy Pop.”

Formentera is due to arrive on July 8.

Zola Jesus Releases Video for New Song ‘The Fall’

Zola Jesus has shared a new single from her forthcoming album Arkhon. ‘The Fall’ follows previous offerings ‘Lost’ and ‘Desire’. Check out its Jenni Hensler-directed video below.

“I wrote ‘The Fall’ for myself,” Nika Roza Danilova explained in a press release. “It was an exercise in using music as a tool for the sake of my own inner catharsis. I had a lot of turmoil and complicated emotions that I couldn’t process in any other way. I suppose some feelings require you to write a pop song in order to fully understand them. For that reason, this song is very precious to me.”

Commenting on the video, she added: “Working with Jenni Hensler as a director was such a soul-feeding experience. She’s someone I’ve been collaborating with for ten years, and a dear friend to me. I value her own artistic perspective so much that at some point I realized there was no one else I could trust with my vision. We connected on an emotional and spiritual level regarding the intent of the song, and then I handed it over and let her make her magic. I’ve never felt so freed by a collaboration. And working with choreographer Sigrid Lauren was such an empowering experience. She was able to interpret and support my idiosyncratic movements in a way that allowed me to feel free in the moment.”

Arkohn is idue for release on June 24 via Sacred Bones.

We took a break outside, the temperature was rising, unbearable, back in the studio, the song was acting like a refreshment, cooling our bodies and mind and we all felt like we were onto something special. That’s the magic with recording sessions, interactions between new encounters, external factors, all of it in a limited time trying to capture emotions.”

She & Him Announce Brian Wilson Covers Album, Release Video for ‘Darlin’’

She & Him, the duo of Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward, have announced a new album titled Melt Away: A Tribute to Brian Wilson. Set for release on July 22 via Fantasy, the record includes their cover of ‘Darlin’ off 1967’s Wild Honey, which is out today. Give it a listen below.

“In the spring of 2020, we started a list of our favorite Brian songs—a very long list,” She & Him said in a statement. “We chose songs without any regard to their chart performance. The obscure ones hit us just as hard as the more popular songs—and all are ripe for re-imagining, re-interpreting, and re-inventing. Brian writes songs of beauty and loneliness and vulnerability better than anyone—and by sequencing them next to popular songs of confidence and love and fun, it creates a more complete picture of life on earth.”

Wilson added: “Zooey and Matt did such mind-blowing versions of our songs. The harmonies are beautiful and right on. I love this record!”
