Bolan's Shoes
Ian Puleston-Davies
Starring Timothy Spall, the film follows the tumultuous journey from the height of T. Rex mania in 1970s Liverpool to the present-day poignancy of what would have been Marc Bolan's 75th birthday.
It tells of a director, Mitya, who suddenly abandons the set of a TV series. In the grip of a midlife crisis, he discusses his lot with the shade of Marcello Mastroianni.
He needs to know the answer to a crucial question: what kind of a director does he wish to be? Inevitably, chaos reigns. Inevitably, too, audiences will be reminded by its quirkiness, its drollery and its surrealistic tone of vintage Woody Allen. Often very funny!
