Review of Scott Walker: 30 Century Man (2007) by Stephen B — 15 Jun 2007
Firstly, I would like to say I know very little about Scott Walker. After watching this documentary/film I still feel as though I know not very much about Scott Walker and how he affected and/or reflected the environment around him. IMHO the film was too focused on 'the genius' of 'the man', rather than the effect his music had. But then this is the whole premise of the documentary - that Walker was (and still is) ahead of the times, and never will fit in.
-- edit (5 mins later) --.
Actually, thinking about it Bowie produced it, and I can really see the Walker influence in his stuff... oh and Rodiohead's later works as well... bollocks perhaps I'm wrong. Okay, so maybe I should read into Walker a bit more. It has indeed made me feel as though I am missing a piece of the music history puzzle.
Now, for a valid criticism: it's a bit boring seeing snippets of the same people saying small, very similar things. This could have been distilled to a half hour documentary on TV, probably be better and have more of an effect.
