Lou Reed - Rock & Roll Heart (UK-import)
Fast paced and enormously entertaining, Lou Reed - Rock and Roll Heart is an engrossing portrait of the man as well as a walk through the turbulent and fascinating times which shaped his music. David Bowie, Patti Smith, Talking Heads, REM and U2 are some of the contemporary artists who credit Lou Reed as a formative influence. The Velvet Underground, Reed’s first band, is regarded almost mythically today. Utilizing archival film, interviews, and original footage of Reed at concerts and readings around the world, filmmaker Greenfield-Sanders transcends the limitations of glorification. He offers both personal and objective perspectives of this complicated and very eclectic artist. With an absolutely stellar list of interviewees, including fellow artists, critics and various poets, novelists, and personalities from the past, Lou Reed is an exceptional documentary account of one of today’s major creative figures.
