Love is on the boat

Rating: 7/10 (14 September 2009)

Finally , a movie with a soul that is ,well, as big as the Rock 'n 'Roll .The story about the illegal pirate station that was broadcasting 24/7 at the end of the 60's somewhere in the North Sea ,and the material , o boy , the music that has endeared this genre to practically everyone on this planet .And the fact that the government forbade this music in Mother England , that was something new to me ( talking about the democratic gene ? ) .Simply , everything that we want from a movie : simplicity , off-beat acting by everyone ( S.P. Hoffman ,E.Thompson in a hilarious cameo ,K.Brannagh- watch him closely , he must be brought to bigger budget movies , he is simply incredible –I deeply recommend Conspiracy ) , and music galore. If you are utterly disgusted with politics and your favorite economists and their silent counterparts – politicos – expecting God and Gods to come to the rescue in these direst of possible times ( Is there the smell of gunpowder in the air ? ) , then do see this little British surprise of the year !
