If There Is Something (Flashbacks of a Fool -2008)

Shake your hair girl with your ponytail
Takes me right back (when you were young)
Throw your precious gifts into the air
Watch them fall down (when you were young)
Lift up your feet and put them on the ground
You used to walk upon (when you were young)
Lift up your feet and put them on the ground
The hills were higher (when we were young)
Lift up your feet and put them on the ground
The trees were taller (when you were young)
Lift up your feet and put them on the ground
The grass was greener (when you were young)
Lift up your feet and put them on the ground
You used to walk upon (when you were young)

piesa If There Is Something a lui Roxy Music (compusa si cu versuri de Bryan Ferry) de pe primul album al trupei din 1972



care e miezul filmului Flashbacks of a Fool (2008), pe care l-am vazut azi noapte dar cind am vrut sa postez am deschis imdb-ul si am aflat ca a murit Natasha Richardson.
Despre un actor terminat, alcoolic si cocainoman in Hollywood (Daniel Craig), care afla despre moartea unui prieten din copilarie. ceea ce il trmite intr-un trip inapoi in adolescenta, la inceputul anilor 70, in Anglia, intr-un loc idilic, pe malul marii. Coloana filmului e construita in jurul piesei Roxy Music, If There Is Something, cu adaosul lui David Bowie in context. "How can you chose between Bowie and Ferry ?". Bowie e prezent cu The Jean Genie si It Ain't Easy si Scott Walker cu un cover dupa Jacques Brel, Sons of...("Fils de...", cu care incepe filmul intr-un montaj ca un carusel).


Filmat superb de John Mathieson, DOP-ul lui sir Ridley la Gladiator si alte 3 filme, este debutul in lung metraj al regizorului de videoclipuri, Baillie Walsh (si scenarist), produs executiv de Craig. Muzica de Richard Hartley (of Rocky Horror Fame). M-am indragostit de piesa lui Ferry, si m-am apucat de reconsiderat early Roxy Music, in care nu eram oricum connaisseur.
