Glam Rock at the BBC
Sparks (archive footage)
A spangly celebration of the outburst of far-out pop and fuzz-filled rock that lit up the British charts in the early 1970s. Top of the Pops is our primary arena and its gloriously gaudy visual effects are used here aplenty! The compilation also utilises footage from a selection of BBC concerts as well as from Crackerjack and Cilla. It features classic BBC TV performances from T. Rex, David Bowie, Roxy Music, Alice Cooper, Suzi Quatro, Slade, The Sweet, Elton John, Queen, Sparks and many more.
O Quarto Proibido
The Faceless Crooner
Um submarino em perigo, um lenhador que aparece misteriosamente para a tripulação – não era ele que estava nas florestas escuras de Holstein-Schleswig resgatando a bela Margot das garras dos lobos vermelhos? Um neurocirurgião que perfura profundamente o cérebro de um paciente maníaco; um assassino que finge ser a vítima de suas próprias mortes; uma jovem traumatizada, em algum lugar entre Berlim e Bogotá; esqueletos sedutores, zeppelins colidindo, e um banho quente, que parece ser o princípio de tudo.
The Magnificent Tati
