Johnny YesNo Redux

**Restored and remastered classic 1982 Sheffield film noir short plus director Peter Care's 2008 redux over 2 DVDs. Also with 2 CDs comprising the original Cabaret Voltaire soundtrack and Richard H. Kirk's new mixes** 'Johnny Yesno' was fledgling director Peter Care's debut feature, originally released on Cabaret Voltaire's video imprint, Double Vision. It became an instant cult hit on the independent film circuit, partly thanks to its "hallucinatory" soundtrack by Cabaret Voltaire and visual effects mixed by Peter Christopherson (Throbbing Gristle, Coil), which in turn established a relationship with the director which would lead to his work for their 1984 promo to 'Sensoria', the most requested independent music video on MTV. It could be said that this is the definitive edition of the film, including as it does 140 extra minutes of bonus material from original and redux versions, allowing a deeper perception of the original structure and juxtaposition of imagery and sounds thanks to the reconfigured soundtrack and re-imagined narrative. Recommended.
