Review of Static

Static (1985)
8/10
An atmospheric film about late-teen confusion
27 January 2007
I really like this film. I saw it about 20 years ago and it stayed in my mind forever. It's slow and thoughtful, and has many funny moments, like when the (brother/uncle) displayed his family's anti-nuclear equipment. As I recall, the soundtrack was by Japan - an English band of the early-mid eighties. Very sophisticated and cool at the time. I saw them, live in Newcastle, having been one of many fans back then. I think the main title track was called "the experience of swimming", an instrumental B-side of a single called "gentlemen take Polaroids". Anyway, thats the history lesson. If anyone knows how I can get a copy of the film, please let me know. Regards (...not a member of Japan!)
