nearly unbelievable....

as a film it's only pretty good, but Walker's story itself remains largely unaddressed....

Meh. Scott Walker is under-appreciated, I guess, but he's not effing divine.

Scott Walker is under-appreciated, I guess, but he's not effing divine. This movie illustrates exactly why I keep poetry and the "fine" arts at arm's length: it is almost impossible not to take it too seriously. At some point exploring the fine line between chord and dischord becomes nothing more than noise. Likewise, at some point powerful poetic imagery becomes too powerful to carry any meaning. Its like body-builders: more muscle but the strength is hollow. I'll stick to my beloved pop songs and classic rock radio, as shallow and lean as it may be at least it has no intention of ever bludgeoning me over the head. So fuck Scott Walker and his genious. I can live without it.

Solid, occasionally fascinating documentary on one of modern music's most unconventional and experimental musicians; his best music for me is still from the late sixties, but it's great to see him create the wild and weird music he's delivering today...

Documentário sobre uma das figuras mais misteriosas do panorama musical. Não revela muito, mas é interessante ouvir os testemunhos de gente como os Radiohead, David Bowie, Brian Eno ou Damon Albarn.

Solid documentary about one of my favorite artists. The highlights are the vintage footage of Scott and some interviews with him. However, the talking head interview format with lots of admirers gets rather old.

ok, i really like him and his music...but this film it-s more like a tribute than a documentary, and that-s the only thing that kind of annoyed me...

Fascinating, well-made documentary about a man I knew absolutely nothing about. It was an interesting watch, even for someone who can't even claim to be a fan. That said, you probably have to have more than a passing interest in music to enjoy it.

Fascinating glimpse into the unpredictable career of one of music's most important but largely overlooked figures. Whilst his motivations and reasonings are still kept guarded, there is still an attempt to chronicle the path of his genius.

quite an interesting doc, the stuff about his career in the 60's n 70's is really interesting, reflecting his career it goes a little off kilter from there. Definitely worth a look if yer an upstanding music fan. Decent taste applies of course..

Excellent documentary, but probably one for the fans (unless you're Marc Almond, that is...). Fantastic music and wonderful interviews, particularly with SW himself.
