A bit unfair, methinks. I'd put it in the same category as the first, Julie Temple-directed, edition of The Comic Strip (1981), or Alexei Sayles Itch (1989): those off-the-wall 80s comedies - the likes of which are just too odd for the BBC or Channel 4 to commission these days. Self-indulgent? Maybe - on Paolo Hewitt's part anyway. As for Weller's self-indulgence, I miss it. At least it gave us The Style Council, instead of the worthy, wooden Dad Rock we have to endure today.
The Style Council is great. Mick Talbot is one of my favourite musicians. And this film is kind of like Magical Mistery Tour. It's non-sense, but it's enjoyable. Only negative side are the songs, which are from their weakest album, though I still like it. If there were songs from Our Favourite Shop, this would be much better.
The album wasn’t bad at all, it has more of a commercially negative reputation if anything. There are several quality songs on it. Very few albums are going to be as good as Our Favourite Shop or Cafe Bleu. But frankly, if you put Walls Come Tumbling Down on The Cost of Loving instead of Our Favourite Shop, The Cost of Loving is probably as good an album overall.
@@StonefieldJim4 will you ever reupload this or would you be able to unlist it and send us the link? I really really want to see all of this but its so hard to find :(
self indulgent pish. AS Madness once sang..."you're an embarrassment ! And Mick Talbot WTF! Long Live The Jam, Sex Pistols, Clash, Small Faces, Who. Kinks, Specials, e t c

Now I'm wondering if this is where Jane Campion got the idea to shoot Holly Hunter playing the piano on the beach.

Paul Welly
Paul Weller has similar music powers Prince did.
@VoceTubeia I didn't mean to say "but", right after non-sense. I actually like the fact it is non-sense.
It is indeed 1987. The mistake's not mine.
Thanks, but where's part 2?
Taken down, I expect. Copyright issues.
@@StonefieldJim4 Sad. Maybe you could try uploading it again sometime just in case theyve changed their mind about copyright.

Paul Welly!
its a piss take boys and girls and was filmed 87/88 not 89
Paul got paid alot of money from an ad in Japan.
The film is all over the place
But the songs and Paul's and dee cee Lee's vocals are great
Not pedantic, no - accurate. As was I: it was released, as in 'released on video', in '89@43egglane
Agreed, alfa - see my reply to TartanarmyMagazine.
Up the mods!!
F all to do with mods this
I wish I was on the same drugs these were taking.
What a load of crap,, what was going on in wellers head, was very lucky to get back on track cos most of it was f terrible,
lame and la-may. Nice comment about D.C. Lee's voice
What Bollocks
