Favourite Movie Friday with Pontus Winnberg from Miike Snow
Thursday, January 13, 2011

For this edition of Favourite Movie Friday I have a special treat for you - the choices of Pontus Winnberg from one of my favourite indie bands Miike Snow (that's him in the middle, erm, I think). While Miike Snow's musical creations are beautiful and enchanting, Winnberg also deserves a mention for being one half of the production duo Bloodshy and Avant with childhood friend and fellow Miike Snow band member Christian Karlsson (on the far left). Besides being the go-to lads for the likes of you know, everyone from Madonna and Kylie Minogue, to Britney Spears and Kelis, they won a Grammy for their work on Spears' hit Toxic. So basically, he's a legend. And a very amusing and candid interviewee too, might I add. Here's his favourite movie picks:
"I just watched a fantastic documentary, it was the most fun thing I’ve ever seen. It was especially the most entertaining thing, you have to see it and check the name in English but it was called My Best Fiend. It was about the relationship between producer and actor Klaus Kinski and (filmmaker) Werner Herzog and about their whole creative process. It was all about these two crazy egos and these two people trying to kill each other, it’s amazing. I’m harassing everyone to see it and watch the clips. After hearing some of Herzog’s stories . . .it’s a shame this was made after Klaus died and came out after that."
Such a fantastic choice, as everyone knows Herzog is batshit crazy and anything with him in it is hi-to-tha-larious. In other news, let me grace you with my favourite Miike Snow song, coincidentally named after one of my favourite singers ever - Billie Holiday.
