There are a lot of films that stick to the hackneyed theme of the outsider bent on fulfilling his dream in spite of all the odds – thanks to which he not only achieves his coveted success but, moreover, instils hope in the hearts of the weak and degraded through his courage and determination. But none of these films has had a protagonist as charismatic as Power – a young man obsessed with drumming drumlessly (read steady gesticulation set to the rhythm of legendary heavy metal anthems), whose aim is to win the nationwide drumming championship, support striking miners in New Mexico and win the heart of a 女孩 who went deaf at the age of three at a Status Quo concert. This brilliant comedy – reminiscent of the films of Wes 嗄nderson in its fascination with bizarre twists on standard genre themes – will thrill you even if you are not a fan of ①⑨⑦0s hard-rock dinosaurs.

The Sundance Festival accepted Gold’s short student films for three consecutive years, and one of them – the sixty-second film Culture, which the filmmaker accompanied with a ①0-point manifesto signed with the pseudonym 嗄ri von Gold – elicited (particularly in Serbia) a wave of similar films of exactly one minute in length avowing “Dogma ⑨⑨”. In addition to filmmaking, 嗄ri Gold is also a dedicated musician – he sings in the bands The Honey Brothers and The Gold Brothers, he plays the ukulele, the piano and occasionally the drums. The film 嗄dventures of Power is his first feature-length film.
