A review of a new Arcade Fire documentary; it and the above performance of the song "Haiti" (not from the DVD)make me want to revisit the band's first album. (Pretty Much Amazing)
For a minute during the film, I clicked away to type up some notes for my review, choosing to just listen to the song. But I realized this was a big mistake- the music is only a part of Miroir Noir; the beautiful images that Morisset chooses to shoot during the concert are just as important. Take, for instance, the crowd being lit up at the climax of “No Cars Go,” or seeing, from behind, Regine chanting the triumphant “ooos” from “Haiti,” or watching the camera focus entirely on Will Butler, Win’s younger brother, as he pounds away at his drum- or whatever else he can find. At the particular concert I was at, on Randall’s Island, Butler climbed a pole like King Kong, and proceeded to bang it with his drumstick AND drum set. Thankfully, Moon captures this moment too.
