They were "Strange Fruit". Some called them the greatest rock band of the '70s. They haven't played together for 20 years. No wonder they're worried about their performance.

Overview

In the 1970s, Strange Fruit were it. They lived the rock lifestyle to the max, groupies, drugs, internal tension and an ex front man dead from an overdose. Even their demise was glamorous; when lightning struck the stage during an outdoor festival. Twenty years on, these former rock gods they have now sunk deep into obscurity when the idea of a reunion tour is lodged in the head of Tony, former keyboard player of the Fruits. Tony sets out to find his former bandmates with the help of former manager Karen to see if they can recapture the magic and give themselves a second chance.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A affectionate, funny look at aging rockers trying to recapture past glory, balancing genuine pathos about time and aging with knowing comedy about ego and delusion. It's a film that loves its characters even as it gently mocks them for refusing to grow up.
