The Blues - on DVD from Feb 23 2005
Guided by the phenomenal talent of Martin Scorsese as Executive
Producer, The Blues™ consists of seven feature-length
films that are both personal and impressionistic, viewed through
the lens of seven world famous directors who share a passion
for blues music. After national acclaim on cinema release
in 2003, Madman Cinema will be releasing all seven films on
DVD, starting Feb 23 2005.
In the tradition of The Buena Vista Social Club and Standing
in the Shadows of Motown, The Blues films chart the evolution
of blues music, from its roots in Africa to its inspirational
role in today’s music. As opposed being merely historical
overviews or straight documentaries of the blues, the films
aim to celebrate and promote the diverse impressions and
influences blues music has exerted on artistic and musical
forms of expression around the world. |
