As Joe begins to wonder what has happened to his life, we are taken back to his adolescent days of first love on the quiet English seaside, to discover what this Brit has in fact been trying to hide from with a life of debauchery and excess in LA.
Even a fan of this film should be able see why some might find it slow and slightly dull, as it does rely on the viewer sharing in a sense of glory in the mystical power of great records, the tragic romance of nostalgia and regret, and the theme of washed-up stardom.
Hollywood star Joe is now a teenage boy in a tentative relationship with a school-girl called Ruth.
Further, his mother’s friend, Evelyn, is attempting to seduce him.
Engulfed by guilt at the unintended, tragic consequences of his subterfuge, he leaves home.
