Subject: Review: Wim Wenders Blues From: fat B****rd Date: 22 May 04 - 01:43 PM I stayed up to watch Wim Wenders contribution to Martin Scorsese's BLues series. Easily the best so far (IN MY OPINION) The archive film of J.B. Lenoir was outstanding and the Skip James and Blind Willie Johnson segments fascinating. |

Subject: RE: Review: Wim Wenders Blues From: greg stephens Date: 22 May 04 - 03:04 PM Wonderful and very bizarre and rivetting. the other films in this series i've found pretty crappy, so this was very very welcome. The fake and fanciful archive stuff was haunting and odd. |

Subject: RE: Review: Wim Wenders Blues From: The Shambles Date: 22 May 04 - 03:41 PM Great stuff! The music (even the new stuff) was super. The old stuff, Skip James and J.B. Lenoir especially, was magical. |

Subject: RE: Review: Wim Wenders Blues From: Roger the Skiffler Date: 28 May 04 - 04:09 AM Saw the last episode last night:Warming by the devil's fire (repeated on BBC4 tonight at 11pm BST). I thought it was the best in terms of the clips and soundtrack and the narrative was quite well done too. Nice to see Jesse Fuller in full fotdella mode as well as Son House etc. Pity "Buddy" turned off Ms Bogan tho' !! RtS ("nipples like acorns" What a line!) |
