The Greatest Weekend On The Earth.
(The best weekend on the planet)
SHIBUYA BUNKA LIVE"Summer Festival Special"To interview, movies"Glastonbury"I have been appreciating it. It is a documentary film of British "Glastonbury Festival" which became a model of "Fuji Rock Festival". It is held every summer at the weekend's weekend and more than 30 times this year the world's largest festival is held at spiritual land that is closely related to Stonehenge and King Arthur legend called Glastonbury, There is a mysterious atmosphere not to say festival.
Personally I participated in the Glastonbury Festival three times in 2003, 4, 5 years in a row, and I felt close affinity and strong nostalgia to all the sight which is reflected, people and music. Even though I remember it now, rather than saying "that live was amazing", with the impression that "that space was amazing", a unique sense of unity and euphoria would be felt by anyone who took part in that festival It was visualized.
The movie begins with young people who prepare for images relating to the land of Glastonbury and festivals. A car was guided and entered into the parking lot at the venue, a tent was set up, the live performance started and enthusiasm started and it got darker and eventually a fired dance tent and a bonfire in the stone circle, Continue. Not only official photographed footage but also edited from materials such as home video of 30 years ago taken by the audience, not only the state of the present festival but also the scenery and events of the past festivals are variously seen I will be entering. The appearance of being swallowed by the festival was truly brilliant, and it was a perfect performance as a simulated experience before the festival season.

Individual photography)Although this movie is a so-called "music documentary", it is not a "gorgeous live collection of musicians who appeared in the past", but all the musicians, audiences, staff, organizers, residents of the area, police, etc. all involved in the world's largest festival "People" is the leading movie. Not only the live performances of famous musicians performed on the stage, but also the spectators who perform fun with costumes similar to the costume grand prix, those who do not understand the purpose, nudists who propose intention, the New Age Travelers etc. , Various races are imaged all the time, the enthusiasm and thought of those gathered there, and the history of the mysterious land called Glastonbury are packed in, realizing what the real "festival" is I will make it.
The live video did not just reflect the performers' live but seemed to depict the lyrics and rhythms on top of the history and growth of the festival. The stage of Prodigy is reflected in conjunction with the performance using fire, the lyrics close to the breast at Bjork's "Human Behavior", which is fundamental such as "who sings and dances for what and how to do this in a festival" In the "Common People" of pulp flowing near the ending near the end of the ending, I felt sorry for the fact that there is an unreal space called a festival in the ordinary life of an ordinary person, a mysterious exhilaration feeling It was wrapped.

The live scene was also fulfilling, the tempo and the song selection were good, the cut which made us feel English wit as everywhere came in, enjoyed 2 hours 18 minutes without boredom.
Impressive scenes are the chising of people who attempt to invade by climbing the fence and the security guards who control it, the cynical graffiti depicted by Britain's leading graffiti · Banksy, a muddy toilet, also known as Glastonbury specialty Its hygiene management, people dancing in police dress for protests, dancers dancing, performers who are caught in a huge balloon and do swinging in the air, canoe in and out of the muddy tent site, It was only scenes that I wanted to see again, such as expressions, on DVDs and so on. Personally liked serifs are funny, but one word of the crowd's audience that "I feel like I'm spending four to five days in a legendary city that appears once in 100 years."
The official name of the Glastonbury Festival is "GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL OF Contemporary Performing Arts". From here as well the difference between "FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL" and "FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL" is clear, the Glastonbury Festival is not only music played by professional musicians, but also widely accepted expression acts performed by all, freedom entrusted to music and performance It is a very "festival" space itself that enjoys the whole body together with the negative parts next to each other. When you are in the hall, you will feel happy as if you are participating in a magnificent Thanksgiving held by people who love music and being helped by music. The title "The Greatest Weekend On The Earth." Is a word that British music magazine "NME" recounted the Glastonbury Festival, but it is a movie that I would like to recommend not only to festivals and rave lovers, but also to all those who love music.
