Almost Famous (Cameron Crowe, 2000)
M | 123 Mins | 2000 | DCP |US | D: Cameron Crowe
A young boy aspiring to be a music journalist gets swept into a wild world when he tags along with an emerging rock band’s tour. Escaping his dorky, outsider existence and overprotective mother (Frances McDormand), William (Patrick Fugit) gets a taste of what it’s like to be cool.
With Billy Crudup and Jason Lee playing the too-cool-for-school bandmembers, and Kate Hudson their devout fan, William is at risk of losing his journalistic distance and becoming too close to his subjects.
