BOY & BEAR

'FALL AT YOUR FEET'


GIRI/HAJI

used the Bear & Boy version of Crowded House's 'Fall At Your Feet' in last night episode If you haven't caught it, do! It features the stellar and wonderment that is Kelly MacDonald





Here it is live

with Bernard Fanning (Powderfinger anyone?) guesting on vocals



we like them, we like him, we like it!

oh and we definitely like HER!





Giri/Haji stars Takehiro Hira as a policemen in search of his gangster brother (the excellent Yƍsuke Kubozuka) in this bi-lingual masterpiece at once combining aspects of British cop drama with Manga elements in the prologues and Japanese Yakuza aspects all centred around a single murder in a darkly mesmerising masterwork written by Joe Barton (Glasgow Girls, Humans) and apart from featuring the incandescent Kelly it also features the hypnotic Will Sharpe (Defending the Guilty?) and character actors like the ever so slightly bonkers Charlie Creed Miles for good measure. Fabulous winter's night viewing I was hooked from the get go . . . . . . . 







the artwork is superb . . . . . .
