Rubber Johnny

Rubber Johnny by Chris Cunningham

Last Thursday I finally got to see Chris Cunningham’s short film Rubber Johnny that contains music by Aphex Twin. I have been longing to see this film for a very long time, and I had almost forget about it when someone mentioned it during a lecture last week. Chris Cunningham is a director and famous for great music videos like All is full of love (Björk), Come To Daddy (Aphex Twin) and Come On My Selector (Squarepusher). Rubber Johnny was released in 2004 and is an experimental 6 minute long short film about a deformed boy in a wheelchair who’s locked in a basement with his chihuahua. It maybe sounds a bit strange and probably it is. The film is available at both YouTube and Google Video and if you haven’t seen it yet - do it!

The polar bear and the monkey

I just fell in love with this commercial, and it’s made by Lobo from Brazil. Thanks to Carl, Maria, Nicolás, Cecilia and Sebastian (the Latin & Central America group) for the tip!
