Movie Description
Billy Mackenzie: The Glamour Chase
(2000)Overview
The Glamour Chase is Andrew Miller's feature length 2000 documentary on the life of maverick Scottish pop star Billy Mackenzie. With contributions from close family, friends and the 1980s pop firmament that admired him so deeply, the documentary remains definitive. Variously described as an "anarchic Bassey, sinister Pavarotti and Scotland's Sinatra", Billy Mackenzie led an extraordinary life. The story is told by Billy himself from extensive archive footage, together with his father Jim and sister Helen and informed contributions from his biographer Tom Doyle and pop star friends including fellow Associates Alan Rankine and Michael Dempsey; ABC's Martin Fry, Siouxsie Sioux, Marc Almond and members of Heaven 17, Yello and Apollo 440.
