Breaking Glass (Full Frame)

short description is not available

An exciting "new wave" musical soundtrack permeates this poignant rags to riches story of a talented and rebellious young singer-songwriter. Hazel O'Connor gives a tour-de-force performance as Kate, the lead singer of the rock group "Breaking Glass." Kate's socialist ideals are juxtaposed to her pragmatic rock manager, Danny (Phil Daniels), the street-wise hustler who discovers her and develops her into a star. The film pivots around the struggle for artistic recognition and an energetic singer whose talent and sanity are jeopardized by the music business power structure. O'Connor's vibrant music - she wrote and performed thirteen songs for the film - is extremely captivating, even to the ear uninitiated in "new wave" music.
