Live Hard

Part Waiting For Godot, part Musical, part Jarmusch meandering story line. I can't explain it but, somehow it all works together? A natural and unpretentious look at a subculture that unites some people's, from most of the world. How passion and malaise serve as a bumper to ultimate action. The only thing is...we don't get to see that action? But, we all know, ultimately it will happen...or not?

Two band mates are waiting for their godhead guitarist/vocalist to show up for an audition. The guitarist's groupie who just can't quite bring herself to tell these two hapless wantabees to just get over it and do their own thing. It's a failure to launch but wait, there's more. Enter: two other guitarist who have more than enough style and talent to propel this rhythm section to greatness (or at the very least...get a gig).

The acting is spot-on, natural and authentic. Street level South Korean urban settings, dark, smokey (only by owners permission) clubs, devoid (almost) of audience, and completely realistic.

No traditional story arc here. If you are looking for resolution...sorry, ain't happening.
