Anyone seen this film yet? it's a German/Turkish co-production from this year, that recently won the Golden Bear award at the Berlin international film festival.
So what? I hear you ask. well, not only is it supposed to be a superb film, but the soundtrack features (as well as Depeche Mode and the Birthday Party) a short, short version (03:54) of Temple of Love! It's about time the Sisters were featured in a movie, I've always thought that their songs are especially cinematic.
I hope it gets released here in Blighty; it would be cool as f**k to hear a Sisters tune blasting out in a cinema.
here are some release dates:
Germany 12 February 2004 (Berlin International Film Festival)
Germany 11 March 2004
Turkey 19 March 2004
Austria 2 April 2004
Switzerland 6 May 2004 (German speaking region)
Russia 19 May 2004 (Moscow Film Festival)
Australia 18 June 2004 (Sydney Film Festival)
France 3 July 2004 (La Rochelle Film Festival)
Czech Republic 4 July 2004 (Karlovy Vary Film Festival)
France 21 July 2004
Israel 22 July 2004
Australia 29 July 2004 (Melbourne International Film Festival)
Netherlands 2 September 2004
Hungary 16 September 2004
Belgium 22 September 2004
Italy 15 October 2004
Poland 3 December 2004

Wonder if this section of the official site will be updated?

The Sisters have never written music specifically for any film which didn't feature Dennis Hopper. That was only once, and as it turned out, the music has been used elsewhere ( - not on film).
The Sisters have tried a couple of times to get pre-existing songs onto the soundtrack of a film, and were afterwards glad that they didn't achieve it, as the films were not as good as hoped: 'Things To In Denver When You're Dead' (great script, great cast, but unfortunately lacklustre direction) and 'Judge Dredd' (great comic, Joan Chen, but unfortunately an all-round bad film).
The Sisters have often spent time getting their music taken off the soundtrack to dodgy B-movies (like 'Wayne's World'). They're certainly not interested in dodgy-darkling films. |
For that matter, I wonder if ANY section of the official site will ever be updated?

Here's a thought:
One old song gets released on a film soundtrack, albeit an indie...
Another old song (or two) get released on compilations, contrary to the generally stingy policy on compilations...
Is this a) Eldo sorting out his pension, cashing in while he can because he knows The Sisters are dying a slow death?
b) Eldo just making a fast buck to keep the Merc on the road, with no particular logic to it?
or c) Eldo raking in a little bit of cash because he has a PROJECT in mind? We KNOW he's careful with his money, who knows what he's squirreled away?
I know, I know, the answer is b). But I can't help wishing it was c).

Saw this film this weekend and I liked it.
Well, it was a serious film but I still have to say the scene where TOL was played was very amusing (man shouting: "Punk is not dead! Punk is not dead!"  ) |

Probably not. The link to Ofra Haza's site no longer works, and they haven't even bothered to announce their sorrow at John Peel's death.

I have it on video tape (VHS). Last year, the film was on Belgian TV with Dutch subtitles. Overall movie not bad, specially thanks to the dancing scene with Temple of Love.

Didn't he sell the rights to all the old stuff to WEA, in order to fund the purchase of the aforementioned Merc? Not sure whether those rights included use in films, but it's entirely possible that you should also consider:
d) WEA making a fast buck.

I seem to have managed to have overlooked the first paragraph for all these years even though I've definitely read the rest. What music did they write for a Dennis Hopper film and where else has it been used? |
