Tiring day at work and then a colleague had a great idea: As part of the Cambridge Film Festival, the Picturehouse showed The Soul of a Man, a documentary by Wim Wenders (usually boring German arthouse director) about the life and works of three Blues legends: Blind Willie Johnson, Skip James and J.B. Lenoir, containing original footage/recordings, reenacted scenes and live tributes by current artists. Really not bad, very interesting and classic blues.

Going through the programme while waiting I spotted that Standing in the Shadows of Motown was on as well, so I got a ticket for that as I had seen a trailer and really wanted to see it.
It's again a documentary/live music film about The Funk Brothers, the unknown studio musicians who provided the sound for all the Motown hits. Absolutely fantastic music and a very interesting insight into how Motown worked, up til its bitter end.
Quote "... where deadly grooves threatened to set the walls on fire", heh.

Last Thursday in August (28th) looks reasonable. AFAIK, it's a week after the Bank Holiday and Infest.
What do you think?
