About four years ago, I was surfing the internet looking for all different sorts of new music to listen to, and I found a dodgy looking forum from the early 2000's talking about Gary Wilson's "You Think You Really Know Me" album. Never hearing his name before, I was a blank slate when it came to his music, and I needed to hear it for myself. His 1976 album (by the same name as the documentary) caught me completely off guard, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Exploring other albums and songs he put out in the 2000's as well, I became a fan of his work. This movie shows you the proper ins and outs of his claim to fame, and shows you the history of his life and how he came through and disappeared for nearly 30 years without anyone getting ahold of him. Quite an interesting documentary, and I'd give it a watch. Being a person who has known him before watching the movie, it intrigued me to watch it based on knowing his music. Being a person who has no clue who Gary Wilson is would probably think its a neat and gripping story.

I had the pleasure of seeing this film with several friends in New York. I have to say, I found it rather complex as well as gripping in many ways. I walked away feeling rather nostalgic. I suppose this is relative due to my generation, myself having been a child of the 70's. I think it was artistically brilliant and a bit 'film noir'. I can't speak for anyone else but I honestly went home and pulled out some old vinyl records and changed into a pair of well worn 'hip hugger' bell bottoms. Meanwhile, my girlfriend felt inspired to throw on her peddle pushers of yester year..yeah 'low riders', 'capri pants'.. Retro. It was a deja vu experience and I'm glad I've kept my record player!
