A good time was had by all.

I'm gonna play this weekend, Saturday May 4th at the new 1st Annual Heritage Music and Arts Festival put on by Angel City Brewery!! I'll go on at around 1p at the indoor stage. If you're in L.A. come on out. Seems like they're trying to do some cool arts stuff downtown and support other artists with proceeds from the festival. Here's the link.<br />

The Bottom Line</h3>
Engaging documentary tribute to the craggy character-actor
and his five-decade career is elevated by classy visuals and a nicely
relaxed, casual tone.<br />

<h2 class="main_article_deck">
The iconic veteran character-actor with a 200-film career is
profiled in this Swiss documentary by Sophie Huber, world-premiering at
the Lido in the Venice Classics section. </h2>
<div class="article_body">
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The astonishing career of the man who's perhaps Hollywood's pre-eminent post-war character actor is adoringly chronicled in <i>Harry Dean Stanton: Partly Fiction</i>, a Swiss documentary from newcomer <strong>Sophie Huber.</strong>
Now 86, Stanton has popped up in literally dozens of high-profile
productions over the past five decades and has earned a rock-solid cult
status that will translate to plentiful festival and small-screen
bookings for this entertaining and quietly illuminating profile.</div>
Stanton makes it clear from the outset that we're not in for any
kind of confessional tell-all: "I don't give anything away," he remarks,
and Huber evidently faced a tough task in penetrating the Kentuckian
star's layers of cagey reserve. Music emerges as one of the most potent
keys to the Stanton enigma, and Huber includes several lo-fi standards
delivered by Stanton in his Los Angeles apartment, with spare guitar
accompaniment by Jamie James. Indeed, after a while it's debatable
whether these likeably unassuming musical 'numbers' are punctuating the
movie or vice versa.<br />
In what's become established practice for this kind of documentary,
Huber includes adulatory comment from several of Stanton's celebrity
friends and collaborators, with his seven-time director<strong> David Lynch</strong> on droll form as he pops in for a chat and an outsize mug of coffee. <strong>Debbie Harry'</strong>s
contribution is more eyebrow-raising, as it emerges that the Blondie
bombshell and Stanton became more than pals for a spell, part of
Stanton's touched-upon adventures as an unlikely Tinseltown lothario.
"She left with Tom Cruise," he remarks of one mid-80s flame, and it's no
joke: said paramour was none other than <strong>Rebecca De Mornay,</strong> Cruise's <i>Risky Business </i>co-star.<br />
But as Stanton notes, "I've been a loner all my life," displaying a
Zen-calm, near-nihilistic commitment to following his father's motto "Go
straight ahead until you hit something." The picture that emerges is
that of an "actor's actor", in Sam Shepard's phrase, one whose character
and professional methods are rather more complex than he would probably
care to admit. This slightly closed-off, mysterious aspect to such a
visible and recognizable figure adds a compelling edge to <i>Harry Dean Stanton: Partly Fiction </i>that invaluably offsets what can occasionally become a slightly hagiographic tone.<br />
Taking her cue from her subject -- and her title from <strong>Kris Kristofferson </strong>song
"He's A Pilgrim," reportedly part-inspired by Stanton -- Huber takes a
stripped-down and seemingly casual approach that pays steady dividends.
Top-drawer cinematographer <strong>Seamus McGarvey,</strong> who worked briefly with Stanton on this year's megahit <i>The Avengers,</i>
achieves unfussily poetic effects with digital video: monochrome for
the interviews in Stanton's residence, color for ventures out to his
preferred Los Angeles bar Dan Tana's, and various ruminative nocturnal
drives around the city.<br />
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Archive movie-clips are sparingly deployed but effective, with excerpts from the likes of <i>Alien, The Missouri Breaks, The Straight Story, Cool Hand Luke </i>and <i>Paris, Texas </i>providing
glimpses into a career that has involved over 200 movies but,
remarkably, not one major solo acting-award nomination for a film role.
Stanton obviously enjoys colossal respect from his peers and co-workers,
and has over the years maintained close friendships with the tricky
likes of <strong>Jack Nicholson</strong> and <strong>Marlon Brando.</strong> But his type of ultra-reliable craftsmanship is all too easy to take for granted, which is one reason why <i>Harry Dean Stanton: Partly Fiction</i> feels not just fully warranted but also long overdue.</div>
