Documentário sobre o festival de Glastonbury dá mais tempo às manifestações populares do que aos concertos em palco, sendo que assim fica muito mais sujeito a ser uma galeria de freaks e saltimbancos. A falta de direcção e de foco (apesar das tentativas de analisar as transformações sociais em Inglaterra) também não ajudam a evitar que "Glastonbury" tenha o seu quê de estopada de 2 horas e tal. De resto, há uma sequência de limpeza das casas de banho que é de um incrível mau gosto.

Too long and no real structure or purpose to this documentary. Apart from some great music from some of the best music has to offer, there isn't really anything here worth watching.

You probably need to have been to Glastonbury festival over 3 decades or more to really enjoy it but I have so I love it! As good to have on in the background as BBC 6 Music and as entertaining to take in as Glastonbury with a warm cider and a doobie!

my mum would love it

Don't know how/why I made it through this whole documentary. Oh yeah, I remember: because of the bands listed on the front of the case. I thought this was going to have performances by these artists - kind of like Woodstock. Show some of the crowd, but showcase the music. This was the opposite. It was basically showing the attendees of the festival from it's beginning to the present day. It also went into detail about some of the problems the town has with hosting this many people, like crime and sewage. Not that fascinating. A lot of the people that were shown were either naked or high as hell. Not that fun to watch at home. So, where does the music come in? Like, in 30 second snippets. And that's if you're lucky. The music will continue to play but the editing is so haphazard, there is no consistency, so much of the band footage is a montage, no more than a few seconds of a continuous shot at one time. If this was a marketing tool to come to the yearly festival, it did nothing to plead its case. Really not about the music - more about the revellers, who aren't so attractive.

Directed by Julien Temple (The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle (1979), Absolute Beginners (1986) and Oil City Confidential (2009)), this was the third attempt at making a film around the annual Glastonbury festival, after Glastonbury Fayre (1972) and Glastonbury: The Movie (1996). Despite all good intentions, it actually highlights all that's wrong with the festival. The documentary focuses on how the Glastonbury festival came to be, inspired by the free festival movement in the early 1970s, like the Isle of Wight. It was started by dairy farmer Michael Eavis, who started it in 1970, and it was followed by another one. After a break of 8 years, it started up again in 1979, with Peter Gabriel and the Alex Harvey Band headlining, and it continued nearly every year ever since. It also focuses on the people who go to the festival, including New Age Hippies and old ones. The film was primarily made in 2002, when Eavis feared that because of licensing problems, it would be the last one ever, which much of the documentary was focused. However, it wasn't, and it's still going on to this day. Temple assembled the film from the festivals films between 2002 and 2005, as well as an archive of over 700 hours of footage. Instead of focusing on what the festival is really about, the music, it focuses on the idiots and troublemakers who seem to spoil it for everyone else. Watching this makes you not want to go to Glastonbury ever, they should have used all the best acts on there over the past 40 years, this reeks of self-indulgence.

This brilliant documentary charts the rise of the world's biggest and best music festival - Glastonbury from its origins in 1970 as a free festival right up to the massive corporate-sponsored event it is today. Julien Temple's docu-movie distills many hundreds of hours of professional film, archive film and home movie into just over two hours and really makes you feel that you spent a whole weekend there. Just like the Festival, there are different experiences for different audiences and those who love the festival for rock music will have some considerable reward with lovely filming (and soundtrack) of the main stage acts. Others who spend their time in the more alternative areas of the festival are also rewarded with extraordinary performers. A few of the punters are great value too - look out for the young man who had been there far too long although he could just about remember that he arrived "last Sunday"!! Most interesting for me was the piece of contemporary social history that the film delivers. The first years of love and peace, followed by the travellers' convoys, the gradual growth of the corporate influence and the era of the all-encompassing wall chart people's memories of the festival through more than three decades. Some of the earliest archive footage is wonderful with great characters drawn from Pilton, the village near Glastonbury that hosts the Festival. Television coverage from those years will show you how much life has changed - as indeed have the 온라인카지노추천 presenters themselves. And the journey that Michael Eavis has himself taken over this mighty era is nicely covered too. The movie really captures the spirit of Glastonbury Festival.

Wonderfully edited story of the Glastonbury Festival using archive footage to great effect. It's not just about the music!

The music is good. But its too long and gets samey. To be frank theres too many scenes where people are bangin on about "we just wanna be away from life and be ourselves, we wanna be respected for what we are and we come here to be close to nature!" Well nice one - get on with it then. Shame that the majority of folk sayin these things clearly need some drugs to be able to have that good time. And a shame that they can only be themselves / respected / at one with nature for the one week a year at a festival in a field. In summary - Be yourself always. Innit. Unless ur a douchebag.....in which case dont be urself, pretend to be someone who isnt a douchebag.

Hahaha, glimrende stemningrapport fra festivalers ups and downs.Oxo fet historietime om Glastnobury festivalen! Long live nihilismen og hedonismen! Alle er vi skitene punkere,freaks og hippier!

Julian Temple fuses old and new footage to create a fascinating little 2Â 1/4-hour documentary about this annual music festival. I loved how the audience - rather than perfomances - were concentrated on so that we all get a very good idea of what kind of marvellous diversity & vibes the event attracts. If there is a downside it is the unfortunate inclusion of Coldplay and The Levellers.

"Glastonbury" emphasizes on the crowd - what they eat, what they wear, what way they enjoy themselves - but also goes deep into the difficulties of conducting and organizing a festival and making it both enjoyable and secure. It constantly neglects showing enough music, but it tells an interesting story nevertheless.

It was more a documentary of the history of the festival. It didn't really feature the bands. It was worse than the Woodstock movie.

Pretty haphazard but tries to link the festival to social and political changes over its 30 odd years. Might make more sense for an English audience. Some great music and seems to give a real sense of place and the relentlessness of the 3 days. Also an interesting look at the festival movement from free love and hippie-dom to commercial machine.

A tad overlong but nonetheless a decent documentary about the Glastonbury Festival. This is definately a festival I would attend as it seems like a ton of fun.

2 hrs 5 mins of hippies and druggies, 12 minutes of actual music clips, and 1 minute of crap. huge disappointment. 2nd disc of bonus material has more music than the film.

cuts in this movie are great

The movie definitely captured the spirit of the festival, but I think the documentary was a bit too long (the movie clocks in at about 2 hrs. and 15 mins). There was a lot of redundancy as well, which pretty much consisted of a band playing and then shots of crazy drug-induced partying, which I guess is what you would come to expect from a "Woodstock-like" festival. The history of the festival and the area is interesting.

The film itself is all over the place but watch it just to see Radiohead perform Fake Plastic Trees. Goosebumps guaranteed.
