In New Bedford Massachusetts, a dysfunctional family portrayed in all shades of black-and-white, lead forgotten lives. One eventful summer, in an act of liberation, the kids Billie and Nico set off on their own adventure into the fantastic and poetic world of childhood, unseen by the adults around them.From acclaimed director Alexandre Rockwell (In The Soup,Little Feet),Sweet Thing is an intense but ultimately uplifting, poetic rendering of childhood that captures the essence of that time in life when a day can last forever. The friendships, loyalties, and challenges of adolescent youth propel the story into a triumph of childhood hope and resilience.SPECIAL EDITION BLU-RAY CONTAINS1080p presentation on Blu-ray DTS-HD MA 5.1 audio Optional English subtitlesPLUS: A LIMITED EDITION Collector’s Booklet featuring an essay on the film by film writer Jason Wood [First Print Run ONLY] PRESS???? “This small, delicate, late-blooming film is quite lovely, and a throwback to the 1990s/2000s craze for semi-improvised, rough and ready indie film-making.” –The Guardian???? “a charming, uplifting fable” – Irish Times???? “wonderful fairy-tale-like coming-of-age story about the misadventures of a couple of latchkey siblings.” –Scotsman“A lively, bittersweet meditation on an impoverished childhood that is rich in innocence and imagination”-Variety"Alexandre Rockwell’sSweet Thingisone of the most powerful new films I’ve seen in years. The whole film has soul, but the fact that Rockwell didn’t go the easy way and shoot it on digital, but instead (like a real filmmaker) shot it on black and white 16mm film makes it a divine soul. But it’s the performance of his young leading lady Lana Rockwell that haunts you when the movie is over. Like the way she carries her dignity in her shoulders as she precariously manoeuvres herself through the gruelling tribulations that is her life, is how she carries both the film and the viewer through Rockwell’s terrain."-Quentin Tarantino

Not the easiest record to source on vinyl but a real gem, received promptly, well packaged and in perfect condition.
Justin Adams is one of the unsung heroes among UK guitarists and cross-cultural ambassadors, committed to working with great musicians across West Africa, the Maghreb and southern Europe. On this record he joins the remarkable Mauro Durante of Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino to showcase a UK/Puglia blend with a sharp political edge. The title track Still Moving bears witness to the trauma of refugees seeking shelter that few here can imagine and too few even care to think about.
Full credit to Justin Adams, a wonderful musician with a true grasp of what solidarity means. His world view crosses musical borders and calls for a better future for all humanity.
