FINISTERRE : A FILM ABOUT LONDON

Now available at a special price for a limited time! A Beautifully shot and edited homage to London - a city that's always been a source of influence, inspiration and curiosity to so many. 'Finisterre', presented and scored by Saint Etienne, tries to identify the dreams that London holds for so many - the spaces between the landmarks, the spaces Londoners inhabit. This is a beautifully filmed artistic achievement, Kieran Evans & Paul Kelly's film has a subtle and emotional power that accretes throughout its 60 minutes by illustrating the possibilities the city offers for creating exhilarating forms of social and cultural life - from John Nash and Berthold Lubetkin to Hendon FC and Hampstead Heath via the New Piccadilly cafe. The film features the observations and reminiscences of characters that have influenced or been part of the Saint Etienne story - Lawrence from Felt/Denim, Mark Perry, the editor of original punk fanzine Sniffin' Glue, as well as Vic Godard from Subway Sect and artist Julian Opie, folk singer Vashti Bunyan, London-centric author Shena Mackay, Liam Watson of the infamous Toe Rag Studios and Nick Sanderson from Earl Brutus. Friends, heroes and associates of the band recounting tales over beautifully shot images. It is also narrated, in part as a homage to documentaries past and present, by the wonderful Michael Jaysion. Building on the film's already achieved cult status, Plexifilm present the DVD with a deluxe booklet featuring photos and essays by Bob Stanley, Michael Bracewell, Ken Livingstone, Pete Paphides, Sukhdev Sandhu and Gail O'Hara. The DVD ranks alongside Jarvis Cocker's ellipitical depiction of 'Outsider Art' - a labour of love that enriches all those who come into contact with it. Recommended
