Robyn posted moving tribute on social media overnight. I've never seen 'Rachel Getting Married', but I remember Robyn talking about the production and filming methods employed by Demme.

They made thoroughly different kind of films by the intersected when it came to using current, sometimes outside the mainstream music in their films.<br />If you started out with Hughes and his Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, you graduated to Something Wild, Silence Of The Lambs, Married To The Mob and Philadelphia. <br />I like some, not all Hughes films, and it can be said that artists that signed on the dotted line to include their music in his films may have been signing a pact with the Devil.<br />I love Demme's films from Swing Shift and Stop Making Sense to Married To The Mob and Silence Of The Lambs and Rachel Gets Married.<br />But in the end it all comes back to the video for Perfect Kiss for me.Echorichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853063796135973187noreply@blogger.com
