"I'll never get out of this world alive"
Hiram "Hank" King Williams was born on 17 9.1923 in Mount Olive, Alabama passed away on 01/01/1953 in Knoxville, Alabama in the back seat of his Cadillac convertible. Hank Williams, who also recorded songs under the name Luke the Drifter is probably one of the most influential musicians and songwriters of all time. The film by Wolfgang Büld and Olaf Kraemer dates back to 1993, but was previously only seen in cinemas. Unobtrusively but insistently, the film conveys the same time this Hank Williams song's inherent sadness, longing and love as well as insights into his life, from childhood to his consistent self-destruction. Against this background look like people like Sid Vicious or Kurt Cobain like little cuddly little lamb. Hank Williams was the first to the insignificance of country music with content, life and true feelings filled, that was revolutionary. However, he has also lived all this consistently, Love, Pain, Drugs & Western Swing in 1952, he therefore excluded from the Grand Ole Opry and never resumed. In the week of his death, he cites the Bill board charts, with the chorus line: "No matter how I struggle and strive, I'll never get out of this world alive". The film conveys all that and much more not only for the brain but also for the heart, on top of that for a couple of extras, including a great half-hour interview with the filmmakers. Including Willie Nelson, Townes Van Zandt, Bill Monroe and Hank Williams Jr., playing time 150 minutes Sound: English with German subtitles, Dolby Digital 2.0, Absoluter Tipp!!!
