i would love somebody to explain to me the ideas behind this film. i do not mean that at all in a negative way, as i actually love how this film looks. i am just feeling that there is clearly thought and consideration aplenty behind this film and i would love to understand the Ponte brothers intentions. It is interesting to note that there is actually fashion in this film, which i would say is one thing i am missing in a political fashion project.
Anyway i would love to know what people see in this film,just to be clear i really dont want to read any negative diatribe and anti fashion rant,and i dont want to read debate as to the appropriateness of fashion for articulating political thought,i would just be interested to know more of the thought behind this clearly intelligently approached submission.
Thanks.

Exquisite film but I must confess that I was under the spell of the title .. ' Slip it to me '... and then I found this reference in the BCA archives about Richard Hamilton's purchase and exhibition of he giant badge with the text ' Slip it to me '...

Quote : 'Hamilton has long been interested in the relationships and distinctions between fine art, product design and popular culture, and the exhibition coincides with the 10th International Shanghai Biennale which with its theme of 'Hyper Design, focuses on the relationship between art, utility and design.

Central to the exhibition is a large scale recreation of a badge Hamilton purchased on his first visit to America in 1963 inscribed with the words "Slip it to me." Entitled Epiphany (1964), it is a giant orange and blue disc, an ecstatic acceptance of the modern world. Hamilton remarks that the button characterised what he most admired in American art of the time, 'its audacity and wit."

Yes, I too am very interested to understand the Ponte brothers intention ... about their fascinating film ' Slip it to me ' .....
