Almost Famous at Revival House Perth Thursday Red Reruns
Rock and roll will never die in Cameron Crowe's deeply personal and utterly enchanting 2000 masterpiece. Patrick Fugit stars as William Miller, a 15-year-old aspiring music journalist who gets the assignment of a lifetime: touring with the up-and-coming rock band Stillwater for Rolling Stone magazine. What follows is a coming-of-age odyssey through the wild world of 1970s rock and roll.
Kate Hudson delivers a star-making performance as Penny Lane, the enigmatic "Band-Aid" who becomes William's guide to this intoxicating world, while Billy Crudup shines as Russell Hammond, Stillwater's charismatic guitarist. Frances McDormand brings wisdom and humor as William's protective mother, anchoring the film's emotional core.
Crowe draws from his own experiences as a teenage rock journalist, creating an autobiographical love letter to music, youth, and the transformative power of following your passion. With an incredible soundtrack featuring Led Zeppelin, The Who, and Fleetwood Mac, this semi-autobiographical gem captures the magic of discovering music that changes your life.
