FROM '60s teen sensation to semi-reclusive genius of the avant-garde, Scott Walker has held music fans in thrall for more than 40 years. Except that's not really true.
As the focal point of The Walker Brothers, Scott was far more than a bubblegum pop star.
Chosing not to play the fame game, he lost most of the 70s to forgettable albums and a cash-in Walker Brothers reunion that would have been pointless had he not gained the confidence to attack even more ambitious music.
Stephen Kijak's film explodes the Walker myth with the help of the man himself and interviewees from David Bowie to Jarvis Cocker. Great stuff.
