My Blueberry Nights contest
We’ve got a nice little giveaway package to one lucky reader courtesy of Filter Magazine. Director Wong Kar Wai may have created a trifle of a little road film with My Blueberry Nights, which starred singer Norah Jones, Jude Law, Natalie Portman, Rachel Weisz and David Straithairn.
But the movie’s soundtrack just burns with a sort of Southern Gothic energy. It’s like listening to a Flannery O’Connor or Shirly Jackson short story. It’s all honey-dripped soul, R&B, folk and jazz.
We’re giving away a copy of the soundtrack, featuring an original song by Norah Jones, a few Cat Power tracks, Otis Redding, Amos Lee, Ry Cooder and Mavis Staples all show up as well. Also included will be a copy of the movie’s one sheet. Trust me, when I say you’ll want a copy of the soundtrack if you don’t have it already.
So how do you win? Well, just leave a comment and I’ll select one arbitrary winner. Deadline is Monday 5 p.m. PST. I’ll let the winner know and we’ll arrange shipping deets at that point. So c’mon take three seconds for a chance at a free CD and movie poster.
