Steve Vai: Where the Wild Things Are [Blu-ray]
registrato durante il grandioso sound theories tour, in occasione della data sold-out tenutasi presso lo state theatre di minneapolis, where the wild things are e’ l’attesissimo documento audio e video dello stato di grazia che sta vivendo il leggendario chitarrista steve vai. di origine italiana, ma nato e vissuto negli stati uniti, con oltre 15 milioni di copie vendute in carriera, steve vai e’ senza dubbio uno dei migliori chitarristi del mondo. la sua tecnica, il suo stile e la totale padronanza dei solo, lo hanno reso il chitarrista piu’ richiesto. in carriera ha suonato con david lee roth, whitesnake, nel supergruppo g3 (con l’altro asso joe satriani) e con frank zappa. soprattutto l’esperienza con quest’ultimo, che chiamo’ steve per eseguire le parti piu’ complicate dei suoi brani, influenzo’ fortemente la tecnica chitarristica dello stesso vai che si ritrovo’ catapultato in un eccentrico ma quanto mai formativo universo musicale. la continua evoluzione della sua arte trova la definitiva consacrazione in where the wild things are. le 2 ore e 40 del live contengono alcuni nuovi brani ed altri pezzi estratti dal suo immenso catalogo ri-arrangiati esclusivamente per questo concerto.

Where the Wild Things Are [Blu-ray]
“Let the wild rumpus start!” Nine-year-old Max runs away from home and sails across the sea to become king of the land Where the Wild Things Are. King Max rules a wondrous realm of gigantic fuzzy monsters–but being king may not be as carefree as it looks! Filmmaker Spike Jonze directs a magical, visually astonishing film version of Maurice Sendak’s celebrated children’s classic, starring an amazing cast of screen veterans and featuring young Max Records in a fierce and sensitive performance as Max. Explore the joyous, complicated and wildly imaginative wild rumpus of the time and place we call childhood.Through his handcrafted ode to the trials of childhood, Spike Jonze puts his own unique imprint on Maurice Sendak’s enduring classic. In the prologue, 9-year-old Max (Max Records) stomps around the house, feeling neglected. When his mom (Catherine Keener) sends him to bed without supper, Max runs away (something he doesn’t do in the book). He finds a boat and sails to a distant land where fuzzy monsters are raising a rumpus in the forest. Since his wolf suit allows him to fit right in, he joins the fray, catching the eye of Carol (James Gandolfini, excellent), who notes, approvingly, “I like the way you destroy stuff. There’s a spark to your work that can’t be taught.” With that, they pronounce the diminutive creature king, hoping he can bring cohesion to their fractured family. After Max comes across Carol’s scale-model town, he decides they should build a real one, but the project stalls as Alexander (Paul Dano) and Douglas (Chris Cooper) mope, Judith (Catherine O’Hara) browbeats Ira (Forest Whitaker), and Carol pines for K.W. (Lauren Ambrose), who prefers the company of owls Bob and Terry. Max realizes he has to make a choice: stay with the wild things or return home, where he has to keep his aggressive impulses in check. For readers of Sendak’s slim tome, his decision won’t come as a surprise, but Jonze ends the story on a lovely grace note. Until that time, the squabbling is a bit much–these monsters never stop talking–but Jonze, cowriter Dave Eggers, the Jim Henson Company, and singer/songwriter Karen O. have gone all-out to re-create the inner world of a child with as much empathy as was mustered for the inner adult world of Jonze’s Being John Malkovich. –Kathleen C.
