Hail! Hail! Rock 'N' Roll

Screening on Film
Directed by Taylor Hackford.
US, 1987, 35mm, color, 120 min.

Quickly forgotten, this movie is a veritable feast of rock and blues artists (Etta James, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, Julian Lennon, Linda Ronstadt) performing at the time of Chuck Berry’s 60th birthday. Berry is as volatile as ever, and there is a great scene in which he lectures condescendingly to Richards on how to play guitar.
