Revival
Brussels Film Festival
The film’s title speaks for itself: Czech Republic, drugs and rock’n’roll. Following the trend of revival, four buddies, dope-smoking hippies with a penchant for psychedelic blues-rock songs in a shaky English, decide – forty years later – to reunite their rock band, which had known brief success in the 70’s under the name of Smoke. First believed to be a scam aimed at saving one of its members from bankruptcy, this comeback takes an unexpected turn and gives each member a unique chance to take their revenge on life.
Alice Nellis succeeds in mixing a brilliant cocktail of emotions with her Czech comedy. Do not forget your leather jacket, it’s going to rock!
