Lots about the man, little about the band, but this film about Barnesy’s troubled life has a humanistic message at its core
When people reflect on a particular time and place important to their lives, they often discuss how it affected their senses – recalling smells, textures, the weather. In the director Martin Scorsese’s excellent 2005 Bob Dylan documentary, No Direction Home, the musician recalls his youth in the bitterly cold American midwest, connecting chilly temperatures with a greater drive towards creative activities.
In Working Class Boy the subject – 62-year-old Scottish-Australian singer-songwriter Jimmy Barnes – remembers the smell of mud and smoke and the texture of soot-coloured buildings in Glasgow, where he spent his earliest years. Returning to woebegone neighbourhoods, the veteran rocker speaks of the unique properties of this city, “one of the only places in the world where you can get your jaw broken and your heart broken at the same time”.
