| Film review: It Might Get Loud It's a bizarre follow-up to 'An Inconvenient Truth', and one that can be testing on the patience, writes Andrew PulverGuitar nerds will no doubt be queuing round the block for this summit of Âlegendary axemen from across the generations: Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page, U2's The Edge and Jack White of the White Stripes. Page, if you will, represents the "classical" era of Âunreconstructed rock'n'roll self-indulgence, Edge comes out of the punk era's political commitment and Â"meaning", while White does a boggle-eyed shaman thing, where guitar-Âplaying has ascended to some kind of mystical, Âmysterious act. Of the three, Edge comes off as the deepest thinker, and the one with the most interesting things to say about Âmusicianship; White, you feel, is Âwilfully cryptic, while Page is cheerfully inarticulate as befits a balls-out rocker of the old school. In fact, it's Page who offers the few moments of unintentional comedy in this otherwise genuflecting film: when, for example, the three maestros get together in the Âfinal section for a jam session, Page (now a silver-haired gent in his 60s) can't prevent his features rearranging into a cock-rocker's leer. Normally you'd only find this sort of thing lurking late night on BBC2, but presumably the guiding hand of Davis "An Inconvenient Truth" Guggenheim is getting it a little more exposure than it might otherwise have merited. But it's a bizarre follow-up to the fifth Âbiggest cinema documentary of all time, and one that's as testing on the patience as a 10-minute guitar solo with extra tremolo.Rating: 2/5DocumentaryAndrew Pulverguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds guardian.co.uk |
