Some day we will be nothing, but in the meantime, where do we really exist? Glen Campbell looks at himself in a familiar Super 8 footage. He doesn’t know who the guy on the screen is. It’s him. Neither does he know he’s a country music legend to whom Sir Paul McCartney himself says: “I just wanted to say I love you” (and walks away.) And he also doesn’t know who is his loving Jiminy Cricket, his fourth wife, the heroine of a film that believes only in the heart of darkness. Campbell has Alzheimer’s, and he can joke about it. He can also be infernal in a tour in which the tension mixes up with his amazing drive: his musical instinct, crawled up in face of his own upcoming end, is up there standing on each one of the 151 concerts of his last tour, which is recorded in this film. Campbell is devastating, whether as a song or as a human, a memory or a mirror of everything that defines us: our passage through life. But he’s still alive –even if he doesn’t know it– in his songs. And that brushes against all our fears, sure, but also everything that defines us as humans. JMD
