Noise

Eh it's alright. A collection of performances that Youtube might recommend while you're listening to more obscure artists. Not bad by any means but performances are hit or miss.

The music and performance in NOISE might not be explicatable verbally--only, visually. That's Assayas' belief and the basis of his achievement here: a consistently engrossing, even mesmerizing window into art that'd otherwise remain more veiled, and the rare "concert film" that reaches profundity. Deserves to be much more widely known; an incisive example of the painter Renoir's dictum, "All great art is abstract."

Every shot is tight and intense, and while mimicking the up-front live gig experience, it gets tiring after a while. Assayas lets the film breath a bit in the middle, wherein Metric -with Emily Haines doing what seems like a light Karen O impression in retrospect- provides the least meandering performance. I like a racket every now and again, but some of these are a bit much. Afel Bocoum is great though.
