Review of Rock & Rule

Rock & Rule (1983)
10/10
great, weird film
9 January 2005
I was obsessed with this movie back in March '86 when it was shown on Cinemax a few times. It's an incredibly ambitious piece of work. The animation is extremely impressive, particularly the mouths matching the voices. The story is a bit like Star Wars, but with a super-sarcastic and nihilistic slant. I'll be buying the DVD when it comes out.

The music for the film is pretty inspired, in a 70's punk way. I don't remember Iggy, Lou, Cheap Trick, or Blondie being that big anymore in '83. Cool that the filmmmakers would/could get those artists to compose and record songs expressly for their movie.

Evil spelled backwards is live, and we all want to do that.
