Breaking Glass

Postby Electric friend » Mon Sep 20, 2004 4:30 am

Hello fellow New wavers, it's great to see so many others who enjoy this music. I remember a fun film during the early eighties called"Breaking Glass," and bought a copy recently off the net. It starred Hazel O'Conner and focused on the life of a new wave band. It has a cool soundtrack and I would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of the genre.
Not any Oscars mind you, but it has its moments. [:)]

The soundtrack was reissued on CD by Spectrum a few years ago (import only). Recommended!

Breaking Glass is one of my favorite movies. Excellent soundtrack written by Hazel O'Connor and produced by Tony Visconti.

Supposedly there's a missing 12 minutes at the end where Kate ends up in a mental institution. If you listen to the soundtrack

Classic timepiece! Really provides an accurate "snapshot" of a New Wave scene. Hazel O'Connor is very strange, but compelling and downright fascinating. The music is awesome. I haven't seen this movie since '84-ish....and now you've reminded me to seek it

Also one of my very favorites. Saw it for the first time on "Night Flight" around 1984-1985. Absolutely brilliant movie. Sort of a New Wave "A Star is Born". Oddly enough, I think the film was produced or financed by Dodi Fayed (the guy who was smashed wi
