Whale Music

At the centre of the film is a faded rock star. His fame is behind him. He now lives withdrawn into a corner of his own. He does not go out and sees nobody. He spends his days with music. There is one piece in his head. He believes it will summon the whales. He has been working on it for years. Then someone comes into his life. That person touches his routine from outside. The man’s routine is broken by it. The break turns out to do him good. The film is adapted from a novel. It was shot on the coast of British Columbia. Paul Gross and Maury Chaykin appear in the hundred and seven minute film, a Canadian production Richard J. Lewis finished in 1994.
