Umbrellas in the sun

About This Movie

Umbrellas in the Sun, while not directed by a household name, captures this unique intersection of music and visual storytelling. It stitches together a fascinating tapestry from the 1981 video compilation with clips that echo an era steeped in post-punk aesthetics. The pacing feels almost hypnotic, a rhythmic ebb and flow of visuals and sound that invites reflection. You can feel the essence of the Belgian label Les Disques du Crépuscule throughout, as it blends diverse footage from notable Factory projects. The film's atmosphere is dreamy yet grounded, exploring themes of creativity and nostalgia—how music video art reflects the wider cultural shifts. It’s distinctive in its raw presentation, making you appreciate the DIY spirit of that time.
