Why do I always watch them films about music? I don`t really know the answer to that. And this was certainly a bad choice what to watch. The film is somewhat between a real motion picture and a documentary - most of the stuff really did happen but in a bit different manner. What really bother`s me is the style of music you get in this film. I`m not a particular goer for the "Joy Division", "Happy Mondays" sound but it`s what you basically get. The centre piece of the film is a TV guy named Tony Wilson, a man who owned the label that recorded Joy Division and Happy Mondays. Later he also founded the Hacienda - the most notorious nightclub in Manchester. But what`s bad is that it`s the place where rave was born. And you can guess - to I like rave? No, I don`t. And I`m not particulary interested in Mr. Wilson`s life (although Steve Coogan is a good actor). So, we get this drugs issue, and Wilson`s private life. And nothing else? Oh, yeah, we get a mess of a movie - with disturbing music, no point being made, actually - with nothing. The only positive thing I can find here is the first ten minutes - before we switch to new-wave. Punk was pretty good, I liked the way the first Sex Pistols concert was shown, but after that everything went slowly downwards. Unless you can identify yourself with this kind of music I don`t think you should watch this.

Cik īsa un nožēlojama gan ir cilvēka atmiņa. Kad 2002.gadā norisinājās notikumi ap Daniela Pērla nolaupīšanu un nāvi, droši vien arī es par to biju dzirdējis un varbūt pat kaut kādā mērā sekojis to gaitai. Bet tagad, skatoties šo filmu, es pat neiedomājos, ka tā varētu būt balstīta uz reāliem faktiem. Tā tas notiek.

Ar filmu "Dženova" var teikt, ka sāku gatavoties festivālam "Baltijas pērle". Kā jau tas man kopumā ir raksturīgi, uz sevišķi daudzām festivāla filmām visticamākais es neiešu, toties festivāla filmu sarakstu izmantošu kā savu kino skatīšanās plānu tuvākajam laikam. Protams, nebūs tā, ka skatīšos tikai un vienīgi šajā festivālā pārstāvētās filmas, bet diezgan augstu to procentu gan.
