Douglas Gordon sings the best of Lou Reed & The Velvet Underground (For Bas Jan Ader) Trailers

In the present work, the artists appears lying on his back, his eyes mostly closed, dreamingly listening to a walkman that plays, a recording of 'The Best of Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground'. The artist can hear the music through his earphones, but as viewers we are only privy to the sound of his voice that whispers the melody. As we listen to the hypnotic interpretion of the familiar songs - as emblematic for pop music history as 'Psycho' is for film - we are forced to mentally 'reconstruct' the remaining orchestration, instrumentation and vocals. We must attempt to reassemble something we already know to be a fact by negotiating the sticky mess of interpretation, meaning, and memory.

Reviews
Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Alistair Olson After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
