Young @ Heart: The Film's Blurbs |
About me:
Young@Heart is a chorus like no other. With ages ranging between 75 and 93, this rowdy bunch have won sensational reviews performing rock classics all over the world. Belting out numbers from the likes of OutKast, Jimi Hendrix, Radiohead and the Stones to ecstatic – and much younger - audiences. A highlight of the show is their rendition of The Clash’s Should I Stay Or Should I Go?, a performance that is always guaranteed to bring the house down.
This touching, humorous film, by Emmy-award winning director Stephen Walker, follows the Young@Heart Chorus over a six week period as they rehearse a series of new rock songs for a new show – called ‘Alive & Well’ –before an audience of a thousand.
Winner of Audience Awards at several major film festivals – including Los Angeles, Atlanta Paris and Sydney – and a huge hit at this year’s Sundance Film Festival where it played out of competition, ‘Young@Heart’ is an unusual mix of observational documentary and musical theatre, including specially shot music videos of the Chorus’s unique versions of the Ramone’s I Wanna Be Sedated, the Bee Gee’s Stayin’ Alive, Talking Head’s Road to Nowhere and David Bowie’s Golden Years. The result is startling.
In the mouths of these elderly people, the familiar lyrics of rock songs acquire whole new meanings and a new poignancy. Their performances explode many of the big taboos surrounding old age: sex, loss of youth, sickness and death.
