Synopsis by Eleanor Mannikka
This run-of-the-mill, musical documentary covers two concert performances of the French rock group Telephone. In addition to the songs at the concert, there are interviews with the four members of the group (three men and one woman) to fill out background information. Director (Jean-Marie Perier) uses split screens in both the musical and interview footage, sometimes to advantage and sometimes just distracting. The most appreciative audiences for this rockumentary will likely be the group's fans.
