Sebestuul has given me two articles on
the Dogme projects, which will
be posted shortly. Currently, Harmony's newest
projects are pretty much a secret.
In the meantime, please check out
www.dogme95.dk.
Julien
Harmony is directing a new film, "Julien,"
that is set to be released sometime in the Fall of
1999. The film is supposedly about a young man named
Julien who gets involved with teaching blind people.
Other people claim that the film is about a young
man going through the perils of schizophrenia, and
the people who go through the ordeal with him.
The film stars Ewen Bremner [The Acid House,
Trainspotting, The Gospel According To
Vic] , Adam Hann - Byrd [Little Man Tate,
Diabolique, Halloween H20: Twenty Years
Later], Chloë Sevigny [Kids, Gummo,
The Last Days Of Disco], and producer / writer /
director / actor Werner Herzog [Where The Green Ants Dream,
Nobody Wants To Play With Me, Even Dwarfs Started Small].
Jokes
I have read that Harmony is currently writing a new
10 - part decalogue called "Jokes" that will
be financed through European investors.
Fight [Updated]
I have finally gotten more information on "Fight," the
film we have come to read so much about. David Blaine, accomplished
illusionist, directs this documentary of violence which causes
Harmony to provoke people to beat him up by bothering them.
I have read that he has been to the hospital many times for
broken bones and other related injuries, and has been arrested
twice. "The premise of the film is that I go up to the biggest
men I can find and taunt them until they beat up on me," he told
The Guardian. "I kinda overlooked the fact that fights
don't last very long and how damaging it is when someone really beats you up."
