Bye Bye Kipling

About This Movie

Bye Bye Kipling is a fascinating mix of documentary and live performance that captures the vibrant 1980s art scene across three countries. The film’s format, a live satellite link-up, really gives it this unique, almost experimental vibe. You get interviews with key figures like Keith Haring and Arata Isozaki, which lend an intellectual depth to the visual spectacle. The performances are eclectic; Philip Glass’s compositions intertwine with the rhythmic pulse of the Kodo Drummers, creating a tapestry of sound that’s both challenging and invigorating. It's not just about the visuals or the music; there’s this palpable sense of collaboration and innovation that runs through the whole piece. It stands out for its ambitious cross-cultural dialogue, which feels both timely and timeless.
