Podcast #29b: Tony Palmer Part 2 – Lennon and Stalin
Manage episode 156092306 series 1176602
In this edition of See It Loud, the music documentary podcast, we continue our conversation with Tony Palmer at last week’s Sound+Vision music film festival in Sligo, Ireland.
After detailing the tangled history of his restored Leonard Cohen tour documentary Bird on a Wire in part one of our interview, the veteran British filmmaker here recounts how John Lennon launched his career as a chronicler of rock and pop, explains why he dramatized rather than documented the life of Dmitri Shostakovich, and touches on the musical mind of Stanley Kubrick.
This edition of See It Loud contains a couple of rude words. The opening music by Los Musicos de Jose comes from Mevio’s Music Alley. Thanks again to Colin McKeown at Cinema North West, Lara Byrne at The Model, and Sligeach Films for their help with this podcast.
