Premiere: Charlotte Gainsbourg - Hey Joe

Charlotte Gainsbourg stars as Joe with Shia LaBeouf among others in Lars von Trier's much hyped two-part movie Nymphomaniac. An edited standalone version will hit Danish theaters on December 25th. Much to do with the hype is the fact that von Trier has digitally composed porn actors genitals in full on sex mode on all the actors, thus creating scenes containing non simulated acts. Clever! (And we'd say that is a hybrid of animation.) For the soundtrack Charlotte has recorded, with her longtime producer Beck, a cover of the absolute classic Hey Joe. The song was made famous by The Jimi Hendrix Experience in 1966/1967 as their debut single and is now a rock standard for sure. We love this new version and the sultry, whispering vocals add an eeriness moreso than sexiness which is scary and great. The rock production compliments and highlights the dissonance between the lyrics and delivery making it a well worth add to what we think will be quite an experience at the cinema soon.
