This feature length documentary has been receiving excellent reviews from film festivals around the world and rightly so. Peter Medak directs his own story and sees one of my favourite storyteller-editors Joby Gee applying his inimitable edge and slant to the whole thing. It’s worth a quick google to find out a bit more about it – it’s an amazing story and an excellent watch, giving an incredible insight into an extraordinary man and point in the movie industry in general, whilst never losing track of the very personal and emotional journey being taken by the Director. In a tale filled with co-incidences, my dad was almost certainly on the island playing in a band at the time they were shooting the original film.
Check out the greek bazouki playing on this one – the booked musician was unable to make the session so I quickly sharpened up my chops and played it myself – like riding a bicycle, right? |
