Before Resident Evil: Extinction comes out and the critics slam Milla for her acting ability,let’s all remind ourselves about her other skills in the realm of singing and songwriting. She might have had a musical career had her album, The Divine Comedy, been more commercially successful. It was a critical success though.
Back in 1994, I was alone in a dark room with a TV, in ah… shall well say an altered state of consciousness, when Milla’s video for the Gentleman Who Fell aired. I was completely sucked in and transported to god knows where (I could go on and on about the various aspects of film history referenced in the video). When I came back to planet earth, I remember thinking, “Wow, I wanna have her baby!” I ran out and bought her CD the very next day. I still have it.
I didn’t know about Milla Jovovich before that night, but I’ve always been thankful that this was my first impression of her.
Now THAT'S my Milla. I forgot what she looked like.
ReplyDeleteNot as bad as I thought it would be. Shades of Eurythmics and Luis Buñuel.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed it.
THAT was cool! To be honest, I'm not really familiar with her work. I could like it.
ReplyDeleteSwine,
ReplyDeleteU want to catch that flick with me when it opens?

Hey dean sounds cool, lets do it!
ReplyDeleteI actually like Milla, she's usually in kinda different stuff. Didn't she do Joan of Arc w/her then husband Luc Besson as the director?
ReplyDeleteI don't think she's a bad actress actually either, she just seems really intense to me.
Besides she's in Dazed and Confused, which is just plain fun sometimes.
Uh... it's not her - well, not the video, anyway. It's a pastiche of 'meshes of the afternoon' by maya deren. Well, maybe a homage. You'll find the original film on myspace and youtube... there's probably a wikipedia entry too. It is a direct copy of the original short film...
ReplyDeletemusic's alright though, and I always thought she was cool...well, her and maya deren.
What a great video! Leeloo rocks!
