Jan 1 1992 Not Rated 1h 3m
Documentary, Music

Henry Rollins is best known as the former frontman of the hardcore punk outfit Black Flag, as well as the equally hard-hitting Rollins Band. This movie captures his unique brand of spoken word. Henry Rollins Goes to London is the second performance in a two-disc set and was recorded live on February 14 and 15, 1993, at the Astoria Theater. The first performance in the set, "Henry Rollins: Talking From the Box" was recorded on May 28, 1992, at the Henry Fonda Theater in Los Angeles, CA. Rollins shares his personal experiences and speaks his mind on politics, crime, sex, and relationships.

Plot

After auspicious beginnings as the loudmouthed, political, and angry front man for the revolutionary punk band Black Flag, Henry Rollins has managed to reinvited himself with a quieter, yet still effective, approach to inciting change and making scathing comments -- spoken word. This set of two brilliant Rollins performances is a great look at the emotional power and poetry of the artist's words. Talking From The Box, which was filmed at Hollywood's Henry Fonda Theatre in 1992, shows Rollins as he approaches the political and personal -- from the 1992 L.A. riots to friendship. Henry Rollins Goes To London captures the star at a 1993 show at the Astoria Theatre.
