Slade in Flame Film Show
Details
We are visiting the Exchange Theartre in Twickenham for the new release of "Slade in Flame".
Described as ‘the Citizen Kane of British pop movies’ by critic Mark Kermode, Slade in Flame both confounded and delighted audiences when it was released in 1975, at the height of the legendary glam-rock band’s success, starring the band themselves, this was a music film like no other.
Charting the rise and fall of a pop group at the end of the 1960s, this darkly cynical, warts-and-all portrait of a band in freefall amidst the music-industry suits who want a piece of the pie was not what anybody was expecting. Slade in Flame has been newly remastered by the BFI from the best available 35mm materials.
Cost is £10 for tickets. via website or at the event. We are meeting in cafe area from 7pm, film starts 7.30pm. Exchange 75 London Road, opposite Twickenham Station. A good knowledge of English history required for event.
