What Scott Walker: 30 Century Man Is About

Stephen Kijak's 2007 documentary is about Scott Walker, a pop star with The Walker Brothers in the sixties who then went entirely the other way. The account follows how a voice at the centre of teenage adoration made itself unreachable step by step: each album harder than the last, colder, selling less. Its most valuable passages film Walker at work in the studio; a scene in which a slab of meat is punched for a percussion part shows how concrete his search for a sound was. David Bowie is among the producers, and the speakers include Brian Eno, Jarvis Cocker and Damon Albarn. Walker's reluctance to talk about himself is the film's limit; the portrait stays incomplete, and that is partly deliberate. Who it's for: viewers interested in experimental music and portraits of musicians. Who it's not for: anyone wanting a chronological life story, or who will find Walker's late music hard to listen to.
