Leave your thoughts about Marc Bolan & T. Rex - Born to Boogie.
| DVDTalk.comBill GibronMarc Bolan definitely had it - whatever 'it' is - and even without a definition, 'it' is prevalent all throughout Born to Boogie. |
| User ReviewSteve RWhat a surprise! T. Rex really could play. Excellent extras in the DVD package, including the entire gig from which the movie was made. |
| User ReviewBabette HThis is all just so surreal. Chocolate rear view mirrors, Ringo Starr dressed as some sort of hedgehog and catweazle serving mr. bolan some tea while he's playing with a string quartett in John Lennons backyard. So wrong, so brilliant. |

| User ReviewRhiannon PMarc Bolan was such an amazing artist, and we lost him way too soon. "Born to Boogie" captures the rock star at the zenith of his career. This film is half T. Rex concert, half surreal and artistic scenes, such as "The Tea Party" sequence. The film was directed by Ringo Starr, who also filmed all of the concert footage in the documentary. The studio scene in which Marc & T. Rex brings in Ringo on drums and Elton John on piano for a performances of Little Richard's hit "Tutti Fruitti," and then transitions into "Children Of The Revolution," in which Ringo is dressed as a clown, and Elton pounds out driving piano trills, meanwhile, Marc's head, surrounded in luscious curls, pops out of Elton's piano, is possibly the highlight of the whole film. This movie really shows viewers what a legacy Marc Bolan has left behind, and that his music and talent will live on forever. |
| User ReviewGarrett CRaw Rock n Roll like it use to be! A T.Rex fans dream,nicely restored DVD presentation with many extra's including a bonus matinee performance. Great sounding Remastered 5~1 sound track to match the restored Film. Includes the studio session with Elton on piano and Ringo on drums with Marc and T.Rex. They had a lot of Fun making this movie and it shows. |
