Cinematographer, occasional film director, and, yes, longtime rock star Neil Young personally made (under the silly pseudonym Bernard Shakey) the fascinating, strangely affecting, and feature-length experiment <I>Greendale</I> as an after-the-fact movie to accompany his CD of the same name. Shot with low-tech equipment, the grainy, overlit <I>Greendale</I> sets a dreamy, David Lynch-like mood as Young tells the story of the fictional Green family, who live in a Northern California town that bears their name. Multi-generational anti-war activists and pro-environmental warriors, the Greens become beleaguered in a world of intensifying media scrutiny, corporate arrogance, personal tragedy, and the devil himself (in the form of a dancing dude in a red suit), culminating in the family's disillusionment and renewed commitment. There's no dialogue: The lyrics of Young's song cycle speak for the characters, making <I>Greendale</I> a novel hybrid of music video and visionary movie. <I>--Tom Keogh</I>
Viewer Reviews
Neil in story and song for the first time since Rust Never Sleeps. And on a Telecaster, too.
Google the album site and enjoy the map of the town where the devil takes breaks from ruining lives to hassle the high school cheerleaders. And the whole situation decays, but not without warning...
