Too much of everything
Highly Overrated But Still Good
Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
Oh, this is a brilliant movie, an absolute favourite of mine. It's hilarious, edgy, dark, tragic, shocking and hopeful as Frankie reinvents himself. Pete Tong has a definite Trainspotting vibe to it and has been cheekily filmed as a sort of mockumentary, with real DJ's being interviewed about the genius of Frankie Wilde and their theories on what happened to him since his disappearance from the scene. The movie then follows the legendary British DJ as he works the club circuit in Ibiza, loses his hearing, succumbs to drug addiction, fights the coke badger (awesome) and comes out the other side a very different person.Paul Kaye, Wow, what a performance he gives. His take on addiction is so real that at times its hard to look at, and that freaking badger (metaphor) brilliant, hilarious and scary. His agent Jack -what a pig, sweaty, obnoxious and a heart attack waiting to happen. Loved it when Frankie tuned him out- refusing to hear him just by turning away. Absolutely fantastic soundtrack too. 6/14/14
It's a mockumentary of DJ Frankie Wilde (Paul Kaye) who is well known within the Ibiza club scene. He marries video vixen Sonja Slowinski (Kate Magowan). Then he disappears for a year. Nobody knows why, but he's actually gone deaf.I didn't like this style of mockumentary. It has those short interview clips to drive the narrative. Unless the individual characters are funny or crazy, it doesn't add any comedy to the movie. I'm not usually a fan of narrations, and this is the worst of them. Paul Kaye does an engrossing performance as the wild DJ. The biting satire of the clubing world doesn't always draw blood. But Kaye's performance does.
It's All Gone Pete Tong has a incredible dichotomy. You go from rave scenes with large uncontrolled crowd to complete isolation. From incredible super loud techno music to silence. The man looses it all, yet finds something.The settings are captivating, the music is off the wall, the acting on spot, the scenario very interesting, the situation unusual, and the drama gripping. What more can you ask for?Well, you have to like techno music and its usual scene to appreciate fully, but it's not a prerequisite, really. The fall is very human in nature, as is the end. You'll smile, I guaranty it.Take a peak at least, and you'll finish the movie, I'm sure.
The story of a man who gets to the top (money, fame, women, drugs) and then falls hard. But he gets up and does what most people thought impossible. It's a DJ who creates his last album as a complete deaf person. It's even more powerful as it is based on a true story. This man really exists.The film is made almost like a reenactment. With bits played by actors, but trying to be as accurate and unbiased as possible. I thought the lead actor played very well and the direction was good. It is in the same time a hero story as it is an accurate overview of the soulless music industry.It is certainly worth a view, but I don't recommend watching it with grandmothers or anything like that. The title is a bit of a DJ slang thing, it comes from an European DJ radio show. It may have been a bad choice, as it made me think the movie was a fart/martial arts comedy type before I read the reviews.
