A beautiful film starring one of modern music’s most endearing (and brilliant) cult artists. It’s interesting to compare “Storefront Hitchcock”, recorded late 1996, with his 1985 concert with backing band The Egyptians, captured on the video “Gotta Let This Hen Out!” – great, if weird rock, the subjects may be mordid, but the tone is optimistic. Zoom to 1996 and the boyish cult star has become a greyhaired, matured solo-artist, offering introspective, haunting tales of death and despair. There’s an almost majestic sadness to songs like “Glass Hotel”, “You and Oblivion”. Highly recommended.
