Finisterre (2003)
Director: Paul Kelly, Kieran Evans
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Made in close co-operation between the directors and the band to support the Finisterre album release, and featuring music from it alongside a specially written score, this is a likeable but broadly unexceptional hour-long kaleidoscopic documentary of London - 'the eternal magnet, attracting our dreams' - flickering from dawn to dusk and back again. The text for Michael Jayston's occasionally awkward commentary tends towards the imperative and celebratory; the images are varied, fascinating and sometimes quite beautiful.Author: WH
