Description
(USA, 2007, 85 mins)
Directed By: Julian Schnabel
Featuring: Lou Reed, Emmanuelle Seigner
Lou Reed and his fans waited 33 years for the concert presented in this film. Following his glam hit “Walk on the Wild Side,” in 1973 Reed recorded Berlin, an ambitious concept album that came as a sharp and unexpected contrast.
Recently, Reed and album producer Bob Ezrin teamed up with music producer Hal Willner to stage Berlin in venues around the world. Julian Schnabel art-directed the staging and filmed the production over five nights at St. Ann’s Warehouse in Brooklyn, New York. Reed, now in his 60s, remains a totem of cool. The band is superb, joined by the haunting back-up vocals of the Brooklyn Youth Chorus.
A lot has changed since 1973. The very title references a divided city that has since been reunited. Yet the passage of time makes these songs even more special and enduring. By the finale, “Sweet Jane,” it all feels very much worth the wait.

Other interesting side notes not mentioned in the AFI blurb: the film also features Sharon Jones of Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings fame on backup vocals - and Bob Ezrin's the dude who produced most of those kick-ass early Alice Cooper group albums - "Killer," "Love It To Death," "School's Out," "Billion Dollar Babies," and "Muscle Of Love." God love him.

Sooo mad that I'm out of town for this one. At least I'll get to see Lou in May.
