This movie opened up my eyes on what an entertaining concert film can be when you actually BELIEVE in the music. In this case: Tom Waits.
Part concert, part theater, part over-the-top glitz. Tom Waits at the top of his game as composer, actor, personality.
Pure brilliance.
Here’s the blurb on Netflix:
In this bizarre and captivating performance, singer-songwriter and actor Tom Waits weaves together concert footage with a variety of inventive scenarios in which he assumes quirky personalities, including a ticket seller and a comedian. A highly original creation full of surprises, this intriguing showcase features music from the Waits albums “Frank’s Wild Years,” “Rain Dogs” and “Swordfishtrombones.”
