News: Northern Soul - The Film on Film4 this Christmas

Just SOOO bad it's excruciating. The lead singer just flops around. Eric Bristow bangs the drums like Animal on the Muppets. One of the guitarists is miming to another song altogether. The dancers have stumbled in from the Bay City Rollers Fan Club wearing clothes that defy belief - one even has a soul patch sewn on his back. After this, the movie is Oscar winning stuff.

The film misses the fun and joy a bit and is a bit too dark and grim I felt.   It is made with care but did not connect with me.  In particular it misses the communal togetherness. The soundtrack is good.  The related picture book is well done too.

Have to agree with that.

IMHO of the time more "Carry on Collecting" than film noir.
