With I Want to Live on Mars, Mariya Somova has written and directed an adorable, off-kilter and poignant film about people just trying to find their place in the world. The film is off-putting, and I mean that in the best possible way, as it follows a group of loners who live in a strange, abandoned town, left to their devices. What’s beautiful is the way that Somova sets the scene, placing a wholesome ensemble of lovable characters in a delipidated setting where they can do as they please. The film, for lack of a better genre category, is a hang out film, through and through. We watch a variety of characters, the young Pickle, the old Mike, Breezy, her mother, and others as they live a quiet and simple life among each other. The plot that eventually reveals itself is one of escape, wherein Pickles and Breezy become quick friends and decide they want to run away together. What leads to this is a series of beautifully shot pieces of human connection, where characters start alone and eventually find one another. It is an absolutely beautifully shot film that takes full advantage of its location, tracking its characters through the woods, abandoned households, and endless roads that seem to go nowhere.

Bertrand Bonello's previous film, Coma, was an intimate project shot within the confines of his home during the pandemic lockdown. His latest, The Beast, is a sprawling sci-fi thriller that plays out over three timelines on both sides of the Atlantic. Despite such differences, the two movies are thematically joined at the hip, and I would recommend seeing them in the order Bonello made them, though modern distribution patterns being what they are, that may not be possible for most viewers.

"Yeah, the idea started early last year," enthusiastically stated guitarist Adrian Vandenberg as he discussed his upcoming "My Whitesnake Years" tour, a conglomeration of hits from some of the most revered classic rock acts of all time. "Last year it was 35 years ago when Whitesnake headlined the legendary Donington Festival in England. So, we thought it would be a good thing to celebrate that anniversary and do a "My Whitesnake Years" tour and when we were done, people from all over the world began asking if we'd be willing to do a run here or there and we went to Scandinavia, Spain and there is actually more stuff in the pipeline for next year also and of course now to the United States and it has been a lot of fun so far."
The Makin Waves Song of the Week is "Spiral Will," a single and video from "Fading Failing Ruin," the latest album from doomy Jersey Shore dirt metal greats Solace.
