GUEST,SEANM | BS: Anyone seen 'Songcatcher'? (55* d) | RE: BS: Anyone seen 'Songcatcher'? | 01 Jun 01 |
I saw 'Songcatcher' a few weeks ago. It is an entertaining film that brings home to traditional music fans the hardships undergone by collectors in the early years of field recording work. The acting was generally good although I didn't think Quinn was really that effective as a highly intelligent but embittered war veteran who has given up on the modern world. His 'reconciliation' and re-embracing of commercial values seems a little too easy. |
