Still Crazy (1998)
Country: GB/US
Technical: col 95m
Director: Brian Gibson
Cast: Stephen Rea, Bill Nighy, Juliet Aubrey, Billy Connolly, Jimmy Nail, Timothy Spall, Bruce Robinson, Frances Barber
Synopsis:
The ageing members of a 1970s rock band get a chance to make a comeback when one of them is approached by a festival contact and they embark on a mishap-laden tour of the continental north.
Review:
What starts out as a broad stroked comedy with plenty of Spinal Tap-like digs at rockers and their pretensions almost imperceptibly morphs into a bona fide comeback movie, complete with scenes of unequivocal musical success and solemn recriminations about how they have allowed the old personality clashes to ruin everything a second time. It breaks no comic or dramatic barriers for all its tonal waywardness, but does assemble a cast that makes pleasant company for ninety minutes.
