5/10
Of some historical note
19 August 2001
Tonight Lets All... is not a flashy hollywood movie, designed for today's Attention Deficit Disorder type of filmgoers. What it is is a unique and well crafted look at London in the swinging 60's. Peter Whitehead made this film inspired by the London underground scene of 1966-67, which included such bands as Pink Floyd (who perform the great bulk of the films music), The Soft Machine, The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, and others. This is probably not the kind of thing that would be well recieved in theatres. There aren't any computer generated insects flaying people alive and being shot to bits in return, nor is there any gratuitous sexuality or repeated foul language use. As a documentary of the underground scene in 1967 London, Whitehead's film is a testament to vision, creativity, and the spirit of the day. There are film clips of Pink Floyd in the recording studio and performing at the 14 hour Technicolor Dream (a huge music and art festival) along with original guitarist, singer, songwriter Syd Barrett. If you like historical documentaries, give this one a try.
