Cat Power Goes Celluloid

Film maker and photographer, Mark Bothwick releases his latest experimental project on DVD, on 26th October.

The film features a two hour performance from the crazy/beautiful Chan Marshall, otherwise known as Cat Power.

Set against a back drop of wooded countryside, the film combines Cat Power’s ethereal and soulful music with the serene sounds of nature, culminating in a glorious tribute to music and the natural world.

The DVD also includes three nature films set to music from 'You Are Free', Cat Power’s 2003 album.

Incorporated into the package is a CD featuring an 18-minute long song entitled “Willie Deadwilder”, a previously unreleased out-take from the 'You Are Free' recording sessions, and a 64-page book created and illustrated by Borthwick.

Cat Power began working on her next album in July.

Re: Cat Power Goes Celluloid

I want to marry Cat Power. (But so does everbody else)

Re: Cat Power Goes Celluloid

That's part of the appeal :)

I think she has strange ideas about hell and demons and things

Re: Cat Power Goes Celluloid

What makes you think that? not that it makes a lot of difference

Re: Cat Power Goes Celluloid

When I saw her about 6 months ago, it was one of the most unsatisfying performances I've ever been to and not a patch on the previous occasion when I saw her with a full band.

Her appearing at the piano with a bottle of whisky wasn't a good sign of what was to come.

Re: Cat Power Goes Celluloid

Yes she was absolutely legendary at the Union Chapel show - that was when I wanted to marry her. The subsequent show at the Shephard Bush empire was tragic - but rather funny, sweet and memorable in places for being so fucked up. I think when she has has the backing band with her she never lets up.

Re: Cat Power Goes Celluloid

Yeah she's renowned for being shit live. Great on CD though.
