Twenty years later, Mark Yarm captures that era in the words of those at the forefront of the movement (and the music's lesser-known champions). f 1991, that made grunge a household word and launched an American music movement on par with punk and hip-hop. But it was the unexpected, seemingly overnight success of Nirvana's single 'Smells Like Teen Spirit,' in the fall o.

Lucky Per is a bildungsroman about the ambitious son of a clergyman who rejects his faith and flees his restricted life in the Danish countryside for the capital city.

Seriously…someone help me…like just pick me out or something. ![]() ![]() ![]() The path is interesting even if modern viewers know where the story is going to end. It is odd that it isn’t more straightforward (for a story like this and when it was made), but I like that it didn’t go for the easy route. It has Andre killed at the beginning, Helene’s obsession with a fly (for unknown reasons), then Helene telling the police about his transformation and death, and finally Helene trying to prove to police she isn’t crazy by finding the fly. The structure of the story is also strange in that aspect. The “monster” doesn’t end up very monstrous, and where most horror movies would have the Fly carrying off his screaming, beautiful bride, this film just has him wishing for his own death (and getting it). The film mostly dives into the realm of science fiction with the teleportation pods and Andre’s desire to better society. When I finally saw The Fly, I appreciated it for what it was…a surprisingly strong science-fiction story. When The Fly was released in 1986, I remember being excited to learn that there was an earlier version of the film…but pictures of the monster just did not compare to the horror of Cronenberg’s take on the story. ![]() ![]() Her sister was thrilled to be in on the jokes and she liked the pictures in the book as well.
