From the UK, in autumn 2019, comes another musical biopic, this time from Gurinder Chada, whose origins are Indian. And that's important: the director's Indian origins were already evoked in her first film, <em>A trip to Blackpool<\/em>, released in 1993 and awarded the Jury Prize at the Locarno Festival. Pakistan, like India, is the result of the division of the British colonial empire of India into two countries along religious lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>In <em>Blended by the light<\/em>, foolishly renamed <em>Music of my life<\/em> for French-speaking audiences, we follow the daily life of Javed, a young Luton student stifled by his Pakistani family. This little corner of the world is not immune to the unstable and depressing social climate. Community spirit is at an all-time high, and unemployment is beginning to make itself felt in no small way. Outside, young people <em>skinheads<\/em> right-wing extremists piss in the doors of immigrant homes, the rain pours down, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=I53_zdtjPC0\">the dogs howl<\/a>. Javed's heart is also screaming. It's howling with anger both at a father with an old-fashioned Pakistani mentality and at a society that doesn't want him. It screams with love for the pretty far-left activist Eliza. A friend throws Bruce Springsteen into his walkman. Javed tells himself that Bruce sings exactly how he feels. He can be free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<form method=\"post\" action=\"https:\/\/newsletter.infomaniak.com\/external\/submit\" class=\"inf-form\" target=\"_blank\"><input type=\"email\" name=\"email\" style=\"display:none\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"key\" value=\"eyJpdiI6IlZXRVJGMlRGQUU2alNqUE81bitIUk5adnNVa0c4MllFTStzOHdHT1FQZ3c9IiwidmFsdWUiOiJIYzhwMUVCK1pTNnlhY3MyMmhuZlhReWJqemEwNk93blMxTjFHc0s2VHZrPSIsIm1hYyI6ImVhYTQ5N2I1M2NiYWE4NzBmNjk2NzgzYjliM2Y5NmYzM2E2ZmU3NGQxNTU1ZDFkMTU1MzY5NTdjYjE3ZTJmNTUifQ==\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"webform_id\" value=\"7291\"><style> .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff{ background-color:#f5f5f5; padding:25px 20px; margin:25px auto; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-content { margin-top:13px;} .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff h4, .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff span, .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff label, .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff input, .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-submit, .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-success p a { color:#555555; font-size:14px; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff h4{ font-size:18px; margin:0px 0px 13px 0px; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff h4, .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff label{ font-weight:bold; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-input { margin-bottom:7px; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff label { display:block;} .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff input{ height:35px; color:#999999; border: 1px solid #E9E9E9; border:none; padding-left:7px; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-input.inf-error label, .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-input.inf-error span.inf-message{ color: #cc0033; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-input.inf-error input{ border: 1px solid #cc0033; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-input input { width:100%;} .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-input.inf-error span.inf-message { display: block; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-submit { text-align:right;} .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-submit input{ background-color:#777777; color:#ffffff; border:none; font-weight: normal; height:auto; padding:7px; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-submit input.disabled{ opacity: 0.4; } .inf-btn { color: rgb(85, 85, 85); border: medium none; font-weight: normal; height: auto; padding: 7px; display: inline-block; background-color: white; box-shadow: 0px 1px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.24); border-radius: 2px; line-height: 1em; } .inf-rgpd { margin:25px 0px 15px 0px; color:#555555; } <\/style> <div class=\"inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff\"> <h4>NEWSLETTER DU REGARD LIBRE<\/h4> <span>Receive our articles every Sunday.<\/span> <div class=\"inf-success\" style=\"display:none\"> <h4>Your subscription to our weekly newsletter has been successfully registered!<\/h4> <p> <a href=\"#\" class=\"inf-btn\">\u00ab<\/a> <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"inf-content\"> <div class=\"inf-input inf-input-text\"> <input type=\"text\" name=\"inf[1]\" data-inf-meta = \"1\" data-inf-error = \"Merci de renseigner une adresse email\" required=\"required\" placeholder=\"Email\" > <\/div> <div class=\"inf-submit\"> <input type=\"submit\" name=\"\" value=\"Sign up\"> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/form>\n\n\n\n<p>This description of the film is hardly an exaggeration. And that's one of the regrets we can legitimately have as viewers. Just because a story is simple, and that simplicity is beautiful, doesn't mean we have to settle for an artistic treatment that borders on silliness. For yes, the themes of the difficulty of asserting oneself in a family and in society, of the first stirrings of love, of the comfort of popular songs - themes touched on in <em>Music of my life<\/em>, are universal and important. But that's not enough to make a good film. What's needed is an original angle, a form or a man, something or a few things to pull the viewer in, make them think about their condition, laugh or cry. Here, the clich\u00e9 serves no purpose and, worse, the story is not very fine and is also totally far-fetched as a whole. To be avoided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Write to the author: <a href=\"mailto:jonas.follonier@leregardlibre.com\">jonas.follonier@leregardlibre.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Photo credit: \u00a9 Warner Bros.
