Lou Reed - Rock N Roll Heart

Take a Walk on the Wild Side with the definitive look at the career and influence of the quintessential New York rocker, Lou Reed. Overflowing with archival performance footage, this documentary spans over three decades, from the formation of the Velvet Underground, to his extensive solo career, to some of his more recent work - collaboration on Robert Wilson's futuristic rock opera Time Rocker. Interviews with Reed, his friends and band members provide personal insights of the man who gave us such classic songs as Heroin, Sweet Jane and infamous Walk on the Wild Side. Major artists who comment on Reed's influence include David Bowie, David Byrne, Patti Smith, Suzanne Vega, Dave Stewart and Phillip Glass. Lou Reed - Rock and Roll Heart is as much an engrossing portrait of the artist as it is a walk through the turbulent and fascinating times that shaped his music.
