Njósnavélin



Riyan has been replaying this song many times before, among other songs he liked. I've been finding this music in the soundtrack of my own dreams as of late. Not a bad one at all. I liked how at the end of the music, the lead singer actually plays violin on his guitar. (You can't see it in this video, obviously. But you can search for Njosnavelin on youtube.)

Anyway, I mentioned the film 'Moon' in a previous Edinburgh entry. I managed to catch the International Premiere at the 63rd Edinburgh International Film Festival. We were told to vote for the movies we watched and I gave it a full 4/4 stars. I kept going on about it being the best film I've watched in a long time. How I was amazed at the speed and efficiency of the production, how the plot and editing all turned out brilliant. Anyway, I forgot to mention - the director and screenwriter Duncan Jones is the son of rockstar David Bowie! Which was why it was thrilling seeing him being all modest and fidgety at the front of the stage. (Maybe). For a film with such a small budget, it deserved a standing ovation, and more. So apparently, I wasn't the only one who thought that way because it did win the Best New British Feature.

Someone give me a job as a budding film critic already! Just kidding. (Though the gesture would still be nice and greatly appreciated)
