In Greendale, Neil Young has made what he calls a "musical novel," telling the story of a three generational family, a cop's inadvertent murder and the sociopolitical evolution of a girl named Sun Green. Not a concert film, Young directs actors on locations on his Northern California home turf to create his Greendale, a rural town microcosm of a world in crisis. He shot the film himself on a German Super 8 underwater camera he loves. Then it was blown up to 35mm, giving the film a rough-hewn, al find out more...

This 1972 documentary film battles through the ever-present haze of pretentiousness that surrounds the band to give a creative portrayal of what the Floyd are 'about' in their live shows. The music is extended (the magnificent 'Echoes' in particular acts as a behemoth bookend to the show), the setting impressive and the boys are at the top of their game (this is the year before Dark find out more...
