Like music to my eyes...

Rating: 9/10 (4 April 2006)

The adaptation of Nick Hornby's "High Fedelity" is a superb blend of popular culture clashes.
Unlike the ugly hybrid mutant blockbusters around at the time, Frears successfully tied-in these genres, creating, what will be, a timeless time capsule.
The music and memories goes together like John Cusack and sarcasm. The deliverance of the agitated 30 something is portrayed in his career best performance as he guides us through his experiences with the opposite sex, his insecurities, embarrassing moments and angst found in and amongst the feeling of love.
The autobiographical narrative is also delivered brilliantly by Cusack. Sucking us into the screen, making the film so personal.
The thing i love the most is the passion about the music. It corresponds with my love for music and shows how much people's lives can revolve around it.
Heart warming, honest. This film will draw you into it's world. A drift you out, having a been on a trip through someones soul. Tim x
