Looking for an Echo Review
In a rather forgettable angst-filled Ingmar Bergman film, one angst-filled character says to another angst-filled character--and I paraphrase: "Are some people better at life than others?"
Yes, the film "Looking for an Echo" would exclaim: some peoples' lives are blessed with magic.
Vinnie, a former teen idol, has that magic. Despite significant challenges later in his life, (which can be correctly guessed at from miles away) the challenges are resolved (their resolutions can also be correctly guessed at from miles away). And Vinnie's charmed life continues on its magical way.
Cliches of cliches; all is cliche. . .there is nothing new under the sun in this predictable movie.
Yet cliche is more watchable than angst. This movie, if you can overlook the cliches--which is not always easy, is moving. Most particularly moving is the music, which is--allow the word, allow the cliche--magical. THIRTY YEARS HAVE TAKEN ITS TOLL ON VINCE PIRELLI, THE TEENAGEHEARTTHROB LEAD SINGER OF VINNIE AND THE DREAMERS. NOW HE MUSTFACE THE FADED GLORY OF HIS PAST IN THIS MOVING AND UNFORGETTABLE STORY.

This is the FIRST video I've purchased of a movie I'd already seen on 'the big screen', but I just had to have it. You will not be disappointed!
