Young@Heart (2007)
UK
Feature Documentary
Directors: Stephen Walker, Sally George
Cinematographer: Eddie Marritz
Featuring: The Young@Heart Chorus
Young@Heart is a documentary depicting the build up to a concert, featuring OAPs performing pop and rock songs, concentrating on the rehearsal process; and whilst it benefits greatly from both the often bizarrely incongruent situations and the no-nonsense charm of its subjects, the filmmakers’ decidedly exploitative decision to focus upon the oldest and weakest members of the chorus leaves something of an acidulous taste.
