英格兰西南方的平原孕育了世界上规模最大的音乐祭。自1970年起,已成为与伍兹塔克一般,深刻影响摇滚乐的嬉皮神话。全片混合了历史影像、现场访谈与表演实况,不但让人体验Radiohead、Pulp、Coldplay等乐团的魅力,更呈现了活动本身与裸体解放、嗑药文化、青年暴动之间的关系。 As the King of all music festivals takes a break in 2006, Temple's documentary is the closest thing you can get to the Glastonbury experience this year. It charts the history of the event, but is formed in a way that recreates the feeling of three days of fun rather than simply following chronology. Two hours and twenty minutes might seem a long time for a documentary, but as you're kept smiling most of the way through, it's not in the least overbearing. We are treated to a number of musical highlights, but just as entertaining is meeting some of the weird and wonderful people that make the festival so unique. Particularly memorable are the three-man family team who run the tanker that sucks the, aherm, human waste out of the portaloos – such are the moronic faces of the two children, they really could be characters from Little Britain!
