5.20 Launching the ROCKETMAN

June 23, 2019 by Steve Norton 1 Comment

Taron Egerton in Rocketman from Paramount Pictures.

The current rock-hero biopic trend continues with ROCKETMAN, an intimate and honest fantasy about the life of Elton John. Starring Taron Egerton as the musical icon, the film frames itself in the context of a therapy session, allowing John to explore his past and how it has driven him to superstardom, demons and all. This week, Jolie Featherstone of @TOFilmFiles and Screenfish’r Julie Levac join us to tackle the film’s examination of mental health, the complexities of censorship and what it means to be ‘loved properly’.
