TOPIC: Your movie

Your movie 16 Years, 7 Months ago  
I just watched your film after being alerted to it by a rave on another online site and I thought it was absolutely incredible.

My question is - why haven't any so called critics on the newspapers or on television picked up on this?

I have read dozens of reviews of your old friend Scott Walker's latest project which he describes as "daring to say the unsayable".

It strikes me that you have done this far more bravely and with far more accessibility.

Well done. I have told hundreds of friends and I'm sure they will all agree with me after watching it.

Re:Your movie 16 Years, 7 Months ago  
Thank you PF and the answer to your question lies in your post - true art which genuinely tries to do something different offends the establishment and critics are part of that establishment. They and their editors simply do not dare to mention it. Whether they slag it off or praise it, they are frightened by the prospect of it. Tabloids would criticise them for speaking about it. Their bosses or owners would not back them and would probably fire them.

Being met by silence from the establishment is the loudest praise I could hope for and the greatest proof of success.

Saying the unsayable indeed.

And I have that brilliant secret weapon. It's called the Internet. Without it 30,000 people would not have watched it. Without it you would not have known about it. Without it the unsayable would not have been said.

By ignoring it, the enemies of truth are damaging themselves. Their silence is like a bullet in their foot.

Delicious. And growing hourly.

Saying the unsay-able!

Love it.

You and Scott should get back together - I have one of his first solo albums you wrote the liner notes on.

Are you still friends?

Although I haven't seen Scott in ages I assume we are still friends. He contacted my Mum with a lovely supportive message when my life took an interesting turn 8 years ago.

Loads of new views/downloads over the past few days, seeming to come from individual tracks inspiring people to watch the entire movie and a lot around the UK, outside London.

Here's a suggestion of a taster...

Interesting comment in the Guardian G2 today by Marcel Berlins about his wife's musical. It could apply to your excellent film.
