Director, Jack Bond, captures pop star Adam Ant’s extraordinary and brave come-back after years of mental health problems.
In Adam’s new persona, ‘The Blueblack Hussar’, he embarks on his first tour for 15 years with his new backing band.
For the first time since his Punk roots, Adam is captured in this film playing with a young, hungry band,
collaborating with Boz Boorer (Morrissey, The Pole Cats, etc).
The film includes electrifying live performances, starting at London’s 100 Club and culminating at Hyde Park, before an audience of 55,000.
Bond, one of Britain’s most innovative directors, returns to the Cinema Verité roots of his groundbreaking 1965 film,
Dali in New York to portray the creative talent of another ‘mad genius’, Adam Ant.
Attending the preview will be director/producer Jack Bond, producers Mark Ronson and Mary-Rose Story and,
from the cast, Charlotte Rampling and Jamie Reynolds (lead singer, The Klaxons).
Unfortunately, Adam Ant is touring in the USA.
This screening will be introduced by BFI London Film Festival director, Clare Stewart, who will also speak about the Sonic Cinema, the festival's strand of music films.
