SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

ScoobyMint Disappointment for a huge fan!

Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?

rhysseddon-88973 I am a big Numan fan but whether your not a fan does not really matter, their have been other documentaries about him rise, then fall, and then a slight more rise again. But this covers the ground more about how he met his wife, how she had a huge impact on his life and music, and the making of splinter. This isn't totally about music it's more about gary numan as a person and how he is a family man, very heartwarming.

Dalbert Pringle This 85-minute celebrity-documentary takes a "warts & all" look at the rise, the fall, and the eventual music-career resurgence (in La-La Land) of synth-pop android, Gary Numan.And, the question that continually comes up throughout this presentation asks - "Is Numan really human?"Through interviews, stills, and archival film-clips - Gary Numan (who, next to Kraftwerk, and Brian Eno) is considered to be an electronic-music pioneer.In this program - Numan's musical ambitions are discussed and debated at great lengths.Anyway - As far as this documentary's entertainment-factor goes - It certainly had both its equal share of good moments, as well as its not-so-good moments, too.

sourpussss Numan turns out to be a lot more interesting than I recalled, and his music certainly has held up in ways I wouldn't have imagined. The documentary does a great job of letting you into the world of an introverted hermit, who somehow married one of his fans and that turned out to be a really good thing. It's overlong by about 10 minutes, but the part about his current work provide a pretty impressive display of artistic firepower for someone 30 years from his celebrated work, and there are some surprises about the early stuff too. This is a really solid music doc, something you should enjoy even if you're not a fan of Gary Numan's oeuvre.
