...Walkabout” is one such song, a collaboration with musician Noah Lennox aka Animal Collective’s Panda Bear. From start to finish, “Walkabout” is four minutes of musical genius. Led by drums, carried by a buoyant rhythm, backed up with a pronounced electronic riff, and topped off with a serenade of jolly vocals, it’s a track to be reckoned with. “What did you want to see? What did you want to be when you grew up?” Lennox asks repeatedly during the song?...
...related indiscretion. These accounts are admittedly brutal, but the combination of the evocative story-telling style and the somewhat fantastical content creates an enthralling scene.But Raekwon couldn’t have pulled off a 22-track album like this one on his own. Credit is due to Tony Starks, aka Ghostface Killah, who contributes his indefatigable charisma and lyrical wit to about a third of the album’s tracks. “Penitentiary” and “Gihad” are two of his better cameos, the former featuring a seamless back and forth between Raekwon...

But critics would snipe that truly great films (and directors) were being overlooked: there would be no Cannes love for Rainer Werner Fassbinder (Ali: Fear Eats the Soul),Werner Herzog (Every Man for Himself and God Against All, aka The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser), Terence Malick (Days of Heaven) or Wim Wenders (Kings of the Road) - though it must be acknowledged that Wenders would eventually win in 1984 for Paris, Texas. Meanwhile, films from further afield were practically shut out by the Jury. Despite the Indian film industry's prodigious output...
