Amazing Journey: The Story of The Who
Paul Crowder, Murray Lerner:
Amazing Journey: The Story of The Who (UK, USA, 2007)
120 min. - English
Which is better, The Beatles or The Rolling Stones? This ancient debate has gone on seemingly forever without anyone realising its redundancy. No matter how many hits the moptops or the troutpouts have had, the coolest British rock band is, was and always will be The Who.
Murray Lerner and Paul Crowder’s Amazing Journey finally delivers the entire rocky road the band has travelled, from young London mods to the loudest and toughest band in the world. The film goes through the highs and lows of the band’s career: the international success, the legendarily manic live performances, the rock operas Tommy and Quadrophenia, the inner conflicts, the deaths of two of its members (the bassist John Entwistle and the mad drummer Keith Moon) and, finally, the return to the stage with new material after a break of twenty years.
As the most detailed and the best documentary on The Who, Amazing Journey is a must-see film for any fan of rock music. Besides an abundance of archival material this comprehensive package includes interviews from the band members to fans such as The Edge and Eddie Vedder. But most importantly, the film delivers the unique energy of the band from the screen straight into our laps, eyes and ears.
