What Almost Famous Is About
Cameron Crowe's 2000 film follows a fifteen-year-old writer who goes on tour for a music magazine in the seventies. His mother is against it. Getting close to the band makes the work harder. The film stands between celebrating the period and criticising it; the narrative makes the writer's failure to keep his distance its real subject. The director drew on his own youth. Kate Hudson was nominated and the film won an Academy Award for its screenplay. The tone is warm. Who it's for: those who like music and coming-of-age stories. Who it's not for: viewers expecting a hard critique of the industry; the film stands close to nostalgia.
