OTOMO DE MANUEL
SO YOUNG BUT SO COLD/WHO KILLED.../MADE IN... (2DVD+CD) (ICI D'AILLEURS)
"The 80s saw the emergence of an incredibly prolific scene in Nancy with the group Kas Product and its singer Mona Soyoc, then with Gerard Nguyen and his label "Les Disques du Soleil et de l'Acier".
From 1963 to 1983, Jack Lang directed a world-famous festival that invited the avant-garde in theatre, dance and performance.
This was to have a lasting impact on the music, film, visual arts and performance art produced by Nancy artists.
A "Do It Yourself" movement, a scene sound travelling between no wave, cold wave, industrial music and punk in the vanguard of the explosion of electronic music to come was born.
Otomo, artist, performer, director and author of the film, has personally experienced this adventure.
So Young But So Cold in 2022 was his first film, and he himself came from the underground scene in Nancy.
In an intimate and poetic way, it traces the creative effervescence of a city and a period, marked by the permissiveness and creative audacity of the punk movement.
From this first film came a second, Who Killed Nancy, with a more pop, frenetic and jubilant style.This dual documentary approach follows on from his research into the territories of art and countercultural identities.
Beneath the title of a Hitchcock thriller lies a fast-paced Nancy epic, that of an indie post-punk scene with a singular artistic identity, born in the wake of the legendary band Kas Product.
An incredibly prolific and experimental scene, characterised from the outset by a sound that travels between no wave, cold wave, industrial music and punk.
Who Killed Nancy tells the story of one of FranceĆs most important rock scenes. It's an eclecticism shared by Otomo De Manuel himself, as an artist working simultaneously in staging, performance, cabaret, music and film.
The accompanying 21 track compilation CD marks a journey through time by a musical selection of 100% "Made in Nancy", compiled by the director.
