Jacques Brel is alive and well and living in Paris
Jacques Brel's Jacques Brel is alive and well and living in Paris
1 videodisc (97 min.) : sound, color ; 4 3/4 in. + 1 folded sheet ([4] pages : color illustrations ; 19 cm.)
A plotless four-person musical revue based on the songs of Belgian balladeer Jacques Brel, the show opens on a dark and rainy Parisian night. Three strangers--a cab driver, a soldier, and a meek woman--find themselves in a theater. After watching a puppet show, they venture backstage and then onto a beach, where they sing songs during increasingly surreal events.
Features such songs as "Marathon," "Timid Frieda," "Marieke," "Ne Me Quitte Pas," "The Middle Class," "Jackie," "Au Suivant," "Chanson des Vieux Amours" and "Carousel (La Valse a Mille Temps)."
