I think it's a good thing that this movie is a successful one, and still within the alternative circuit (sorry Przemek Wojcieszek, but I rather to see it this way than another... oh you know).

It's good for the industry of alternative movies and also for Morrissey, whose music might perhaps fly in larger horizons reaching the big screens too. There's been a lot of time, as everybody knows, and a path that was somewhat harmed by bad contracts and so on, so maybe cinema can be a "clean" way of showing how important his music is, inviting people to look at him in a different perspective, so it's also important that his fans promote this film.

Przemek Wojcieszek, I still hope to see this film in Europe too, one day... For Morrissey and for the best that still can be seen in cinema.

Its all very well having references to Moz or The Smiths in movies, but noone other than the fans will understand them. Why not include the music too? I had the same question while watching "Fucking Amal",another great music with lots of Morrissey references.
Or would it be too expensive?

Another reason to love living in L.A. !!

perhaps this was asked before, but why is your film titled "Louder Than Bombs?"

also, did Morrissey write that particular phrase himself? ... i can't remember if it was something he extracted from a book/film or not.

i also wonder if in turn Morrissey's 1987 title provided inspiration for Public Enemy's 1988 track "Louder Than A Bomb". didn't Chuck D. once comment on Morrissey?

full of questions today, aren't I?

It was beautiful, poignant, and surprisingly very very funny!

I wish I had lots of money so I could fund his upcoming film projects. Several fans present at the L.A. screening expressed how anxious they are to see his project about two gay teens called "Whatever Happens I Love You."

Morrissey-Solo.com fans united and took over the Egyptian last night... It appeared that about 100 Moz fans made there way to the screening last night and afterward in the question-and-answer session one fan even noted that to the Director, Przemyslaw Wojcieszek, who was quick to thank Dave Tseng for his wonderful site and publicity it generated for his film.

Onto the reviews:

They opened with a short claymation film, "Vessel Wrestling" that was an art film you might see in "Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation"- with some strange and disturbing images that had the audience striving to appear erudite but elicited a few puzzled and alarmed gasps in between moments of dark splendor... the Director, Lisa Yu was introduced to the audience with a shock of a red Mohawk and was very gracious and personable to those in attendance.

The main feature, "Louder Than Bombs" opened just as a Smiths fan would like: a tight close-up of the hunched up male lead, Marcin (Rafal Mackowiak), set up exactly like the debut album cover shot- then panning back to reveal the distraught young man mourning the loss of his recently deceased father. His stunning girlfriend Kaska (Sylwia Juszczak) appears shortly after and the chemistry these two have throughout the piece is the stuff of what films are made for. The many references to James Dean/Smths/Morrissey/Elvis throughout the film caused many knowing snickers in the crowd- we had a perfect audience - Wojcieszek acknowledged this later and added that he had secured rights to include snippets of Smiths/Moz music in the film initially but unfortunately had to remove them after the fact when the record execs puzzlingly decided to pull them without even seeing the film.

The shoe-string budget was stretched over a 16-day shoot in 3 principal locations and all were melded together to make a wonderful "small-town " story from a universal theme of passionate love and possible abandonment carried by the many strong performances throughout. The supporting roles were played with relish by a mix of veteran Polish film actors and amateurs that were definitely up to the task, including a cameo by a great rock-a-billy band, the Comets.

It was great to have so many like-minded fans in one place for this film.

I highly recommend it!
