https://www.facebook.com/RichardThompsonFilm/ Quote In 2015 the sights and sounds of a Richard Thompson Electric Trio tour were collected then assembled together in this kaleidoscopic film experience. "A film which is a kaleidoscopic look at a hard working and multi faceted touring musician through cascading visual and sonic experiences while on the road with him and his band in 2015. "Plot Outline: A Winding Road focuses on the Richard Thompson Electric Trio's point of view through a kaleidoscopic montage of images and audio of experiences while touring. The music performed during concerts blends with ambient sounds to offer a soundtrack over metaphoric and literal images which form a collage of textural road experience. The microcosmic ambiguity of the at first seemingly disjointed images combine to form a macrocosmic world inviting the audience to interact with the poetic daily life of performer Richard Thompson. The film follows loosely the form of a day in performance; beginning with load in and sound check then moving through backstage, performance, encore and load out while repeatedly offering the experience throughout the film to express the redundancy and repetitiveness of this experience." Also reports that "the film is in its first round of festival submissions, as soon as it has engagements we will post where and when it will be screening."

Struth. I did not get the "struth". But Google is your friend: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=struth I agree: the quote from the film blurb is a bit over the top. But now a new question has arisen. Are you indeed a dinky-di Aussie?

Arguably, more 'strewth' over here...Apparently it's Late 19th century: a contraction of "God's truth" Title: Re: Richard Thompson on film Post by: PaulT on September 06, 2016, 07:17:13 PM Strewth was one of the phrases so beloved of Barry McKenzie, the ocker creation of Barry Humphries... I'm sure I saw a pic of FC with Trevor and Barry McKenzie once... small world, ain't it?
