Thanks - lots of interesting snippets - particularly the photographs and the Newcastle art school days - For me the French soap opera clips have a Fassbinderesque quality in the context the whole documentary :)

Thanks, Uwe. I watched it, too. The French director used a lot of material from French TV which I didn't know before. I especially enjoyed the pictures from young Bryan, his parents and the Gas Board playing live. The album that was being produced during the interview must have been Bitter Sweet (2019).

Gardner: Fassbinderesque - I think you could say so :lol: . Didn't know that R.W. Fassbinder is known in UK ... (BTW he was born not far away from where I live in Bavaria). So it was better to have a time schedule of Bryan's career in mind because the film sequences were a little bit out of order. But all in all a good portrait of BF and his work.

Re Fassbinder ... I watched quite a few of his movies last year - I've always been interested in him and managed to catch quite a few online - I liked the atmospheres - they're usually ridiculously overwrought and have a weird seventies aesthetic. One of his movies 'In a year with 13 moons' uses 'Song for Europe' in a scene. I think it was the production values in the small glimpses of the French soap that made me think of Fassbinder :D

Hipsters,
This is by fare and away the best documentary I have ever seen on Bryan Ferry / Roxy bar none.
Brilliantly written and creatively produced - Absolutely first class.
A huge bravo to our German brethren !
Salutations,
Windswept.
Ps. I remember the white suit - he used to wear it to the GoGo. Only he could get away with that !

Most enjoyable, although I couldn't understand a word the narrator said.........

Nice to see Penshaw monument (where his dad's farm was when Bryan was a bairn). It's in Sunderland.

-Hmm, this program was made in 2019. Did you get some of his last words? He said "Ich arbeite gerade auf etwas. Wir sind auf dem weg zu einem neuem album. Es ist gut. Ich bin sehr glüchlich."

Bonjour!

Mais oui. le grand W2 a raison - this must be the best documentary ever. It contains so much. Maybe most of us don´t need this reminder, but it´s just incredible how diverse and rich our hero´s ouvre is.
The Penshaw monument made somehow a strong impression on me. So strong that I would like to see it with my own eyes.
Bonne journée à tous!

Yes, this was really a great documentary. The french-german Arte-channel usually delivers high quality material.
Let's hope he was talking about a new album at the end (and not Avonmore).
