Glastonbury

Julien Temple

BY Cam LindsayPublished May 25, 2007

The world’s most (in)famous music festival has always been fascinating subject matter but now celebrated filmmaker Temple (The Great Rock ‘n’ Roll Swindle) has amassed every essential reel of footage to bring you the ultimate documentary. Collecting interviews from the vault (with organiser Michael Eavis, various artists, festival-goers and disgusted town citizens admitting they’re "going with a Tommy gun”), an abundance of performances by Morrissey, David Bowie and Radiohead and best of all, candid footage of the insanely passionate patrons, Glastonbury presents an astonishing look of this timeless event. A second disc of additional clips of performances by the White Stripes, R.E.M. and Goldfrapp, interviews with James Brown, John Peel and Noel Gallagher, as well as some colourful Scotsman named Jimmy the Punk, add even more colour to this vivid flick.
