This unique project by Martin Scorsese, visual history of American blues, one of the most impressive documentary series of the last decade of the twentieth century.
In the project participated bluesmen Charles Barnett and Mark Levin, filmmakers Clint Eastwood, Mike Figgis, Richard Pearce, Wim Wenders, one of the films he took Martin Scorsese.
The overall goal was all one - to understand the soul of the blues, refer to its origins and to see how this music has gained weight and influence in North America and beyond. But each of the directors move towards this goal on its own.
A series of "Blues" shows a wide range of styles and moods from tender love to the hard iconoclasm. This is a musical journey into seven parts, loaded with energy blues, which grew more than one generation of famous musicians.
The sixth film directed by Mike Figgis says, as you might guess, about the blues in the UK. UK 1960 has been a continuous hotbed of social protest. The post-war evolution of jazz and the revival of folk traditions set the stage for a new sound, assimilate and to reduce the tradition of "black" blues. The so-called "white" blues "red wedge" beat smoothed bourgeois stage. Its raw sound loudness and aggression markedly superior to the overseas models. The colors of the flag were the same manner as is drastically different. In those years, Mike Figgis played the wind in the first group of Bryan Ferry, so he knows about the subject firsthand. In his interview with the film the main British blues scene interspersed with accounts of stellar jam sessions in the legendary studio Abbey Road.
