Early sections are great, the latter half is rushed.
It was a golden opportunity to make a feature length film about one of music’s leading guitarists – Eric Clapton. Clapton isn’t usually known for being very forthcoming about his personal life so I was a bit taken aback by this documentary. However, the musician gave his blessing and collaborated fully with the filming. The results could have been better. First of all, Eric Clapton the person is presented in a truthful and honest light in my opinion. His struggles with alcohol and narcotics are quite graphically detailed as there is footage of him indulging this and that. We witness one man’s journey as both musician and as an individual in many ways. How he learns his craft, finding success in different bands, experiencing a few personal tragedies and coping with the fact that his own mother didn’t love him. I thoroughly enjoyed the first 90 minutes and I wouldn’t want anything changed about it. The archive footage of Clapton throughout the early years, is something to marvel at. I had never seen any of it before.Discussions that relate to The Yardbirds, Jimi Hendrix, Duane Allman, Cream, Derek and the Dominoes, made for fascinating viewing. However, the last 30 years of Eric Clapton’s life and career were far too rushed and I felt very disappointed by this. It was as though someone thought: Ok I’m getting restless feet now, let’s get the rest of our film over with. Such a pity.
