Great film, great hair. Definitely worth watching the car crash that is growing up in all the wrong ways in 70s Berlin for Christiane F.

NOTORIOUS on the other hand is crap, don't waste your money regardless of what Beyonce has to say about it.

Subversive Spaces

Is an exhibtion at The Whitworth Gallery in Manchester. The gallery is small and inviting, and one of my favourite buildings I have seen so far. One of the artists that jumped out to me particularly, was Francesca Woodman. Here are some of her photographs. I know nothing about her, but its pretty explicit in its Feminist overtones. Really beautiful photography. She committed suicide in 1981 aged 22.

Said that Lisa Stanfield's family made his look posh. That's quite a feat. If you're feeling nostalgic here's a quality selection of classic 80s cheese:
Lisa Stanfield - All around the World
Pet Shop Boys - West End Girls

Dexys Midnight Runners - Come on Eileen
Whitney Houston - Wanna dance with somebody
George Michael - Careless Whisper
Billy Joel - Uptown Girl
Phil Collins & Philip Bailey - Easy Lover
Elvis Costello - Oliver's Army
