. head and hand and and foot a band from the past and just like strange fruit . a triple whammy there . those who have profess not to like this film be either heartless or under 40 and and have have no experience of the real thing . sad for them . this be an achingly well observed little picture that be an excellent way of pass an hour or two and and will probably not even fade much on the second showing . stephen rae and timothy spall a the fat drummer ( in many way quite the most delightful figure of all ) and and bill nighy a new name for me a the neurotic vocalist and front man all turn in super performance and and juliet aubrey have lovely doe eye to go with some sharp acting a karen and who try to hold the band together a they spectacularly self destruct . the syd barrett or brian wilson echo be loud and clear and mott the hoople rear up before one in all their inflated ridiculousness and and the script be never mawkish for more than a minute . don not compare this with spinal tap or the rutles or the full monty it unfair on all of them . the near comparison be the commitment and and that no bad thing . and any film that can conjure up memory of blodwyn pig a band i do not remember ever see and but the name live on well and it show somebody in the team know what they be on about . a small delight and and thanks for the memory . oh . and i have get another one stiff little finger while a a and what about steeleye span . spooky tooth . ten inch nail anyone . ( you have to see the movie or have be on the road ) .
