LOVE STORY
(Chris Hall / 2006 / UK / 35mm / 110 mins / Cert 15)
(Tue 8th / 8pm / £2TTT)
Love Story is the story of LA band Love & their legendary frontman Arthur Lee. Their tale is one of the great untold rock & roll stories. One of the first mixed race rock bands, the dark vision of their music set them apart from the utopian ideals of the 'Flower Power' generation and 'Summer of Love' era.
Love Story covers their journey from the beginning, to the present day. From their origins at Dorsey High School in South Los Angeles, to their disintegration in 1968, and their continuing relevance to this day.
Love Story received its UK premiere showing at the NFT1 as part of the 50th London Film Festival on 27th October, with Johnny Echols and Jac Holzman in attendance and is now in talks with distributors.
