STONE

There is no greater pleasure in cinema than watching great actors at work. Director John Curran (We Don’t Live Here Anymore) once again guides top actors to terrific performances in Stone. Delving into the mind of a deranged arsonist and an off-kilter parole officer, this taut thriller pits two generations of Hollywood’s most compelling dramatic actors against each other in a battle of blackmail and emotional manipulation.

Jack Mabry (Robert De Niro) is an unforgiving man, hardened after years of working as a parole officer. Nearing retirement, he takes one last case. The man in question, Gerald “Stone” Creeson (Edward Norton), is a convicted arsonist up for his latest parole hearing, but full of his usual bravado and twisted logic. A decade earlier, he and his cousin broke into his grandparent’s home, murdered them and burned their house to the ground. Now, Stone insists that his beautiful but not-quite-there wife, Lucetta (Milla Jovovich), meet with Jack. Against his better judgment, Jack meets her one whisky-fuelled evening, and it soon becomes apparent that no one involved has pure intentions.

De Niro is riveting endowing his character with a flawed psyche that skews his decision-making and distorts his perspective. Distant and threatening to his own wife (Frances Conroy), he is an aging thug who suddenly finds a spark of light in his life. Norton plays Stone as a fascinating degenerate, kin to his early role in Primal Fear. And Jovovich curdles her character’s sweetness with a dark edge.

With all this acting prowess on display, Curran could be excused for sitting back and letting the performances do all the work. But he pays as close attention to the screenplay (he recently co-wrote Michael Winterbottom’s The Killer Inside Me), and, most impressively, to the sound design. Even with its dangerous and sometimes seamy characters, this is a film of insight, grace and precision.

GUEST LIST IS RECOMMENDED

He first entered a recording studio on 1990, experimenting with EMB and Acid House, but it was not until 1998 that he published his first works. On 2004 he founded Overbooking Studio with Dj Ruff, sharing base between Los Angeles and Barcelona. During the 90s, he was resident DJ in real cult clubs at Costa Dorada, among which starrs Pacha Sitges, the first Pacha there was. From 2002, he offers us his sessions every summer at L’Atlantida, a legendary club by the Mediterranian sea shore which belongs to the Amnesia Ibiza group. His international DJ career started in 2003, and he’s been in dozens of countries, where he’s been acclaimed by the audience thanks to his savoir faire at the turntables, making people dance for over two decades.

His work has been recognized by both the critics and the audience, as proved by four Deejay Magazine Deejaymags’ nominations on 2008 (best electro house DJ, best club resident, best remixer and best DJ of the year) and also on 2007, when he won the Best Remixer of the Year Award with “Work It Out”. On 2008, after working with the most important dance music labels, David decided to work with Vendetta Records in the creation of his own label, “The Mansion Recordings”, a new project that also was granted a Deejaymags 2008 Best Label Award nomination. Tracks like “Unleash Yourself”, “The Flow” or “Reise” have sweeped through the dancefloors all over the world. And there’s even more! We may follow his radio DJ proposal at his program “Rock Da House”, his new radio project, a weekly radioshow including new releases and the jewels of his case. “Rock Da House” is broadcasted in Spain by Loca FM, Push FM (London), LaX (Colombia) and other countries as Canada, Germany, Austria, Estonia and Russia.
