Just wanted to record this somewhere...
Funniest thing I've seen ever:
19:30, 6th March 2008, SBS,
The Drummer of Ravel's Bolero
While performing the 8 minute long Ravel's Bolero, the drummer of the orchestra expresses, without a word, his self-consciousness, restlessness, exasperation and a certain rivalry and resentment for the other percussionists. It's all about body language and facial expressions, no talking, just clowning. And what, may one wonder, is a Bolero drummer really thinking about? Directed by Patrice Leconte (Queen Margot, Monsieur Hire, The Hairdresser's Husband, Ridicule). (From France, no dialogue) (Rpt) G CC
