Anorac

Comments and Reviews


Dr Doom SUBS 9th Nov 2018		Rated 8/10 An excellent snapshot into the Welsh language music scene. Presented as a road movie in which Huw Stephens discovers a bright yellow Anorac in a Cardiff charity shop and then sets off to explore his homeland. The film is made to look as if the journey took 4 days but the film actually took years to make, the yellow anorac providing continuity so you don't notice Huw's changes of footwear and quiff. It's not a comprehensive history of all Welsh language music, which is probably a good thing otherwise it may have been a dry old Welshcake of a documentary. Instead it focuses on artists making Welsh language music now and mixes it up with the pathfinders who made this possible (Y Blew, Meic Stevens, Datblygu and Anhrefn as examples) The two main things that both hold the film together and make it a cut above a standard music documentary are 1. Huw Stephens - His love and enthusiam for Wales, the language and the music is obvious, heartfelt and therefore completely infectious and 2. Wales itself - with some beautiful shots of the remote and picturesque far corners of the country. The cinematography is good enought that it even manages to make Cardiff city centre look quite magical ! 9 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
