Breaking Glass......20 years on
Breaking Glass is immensely corny, but it's also an immensely good movie. I love it!
Hazel O'Connor's music makes the film for me, and I still love it, even outside the movie.
I have just seen it again, after about fifteen years...thank you TradionalGoth!!!! For those of you who haven't seen it, here is the potted history.....
BREAKING GLASS is a group, trying to slice through the hassles and the hype of the music business and make themselves heard.
DANNY is their manager, dazzled by the rock & roll rebel dream - trying not to get suckered by the record moguls' system.
KATE is the singer, ambitious and visionary - but the rock & roll machine could burn her out before it makes her a star...
BREAKING GLASS - the ultimate rock movie.
Cheesy blurb I know, but an amazing film, especially Hazel O'Connor's performance, which still makes me cry to this day. That very satisfying crying a la Muriel's Wedding or Beaches......cathartic even!
So alittle of what I have been watching and listening to there.......
