Ljubezen in milost

Slovenski opis filma:

Biografska glasbena drama. Love & Mercy nam prinaša portret Briana Wilsona, enega izmed ustanovnih članov skupine z enakim imenom in človeka, ki je zaradi svoje ustvarjalnosti najzaslužnejši za izjemne glasbene dosežke skupine. Film nam predstavi ključni obdobji njegovega življenja. Del zgodbe se vrne v 60. leta, ko je Wilson zaradi napadov panike nehal hoditi na turnejo s skupino, se zaprl v studio in se posvetil pisanju glasbe. Brian je v tem izjemno plodnem obdobju ustvaril številne uspešnice in glasbeni izraz skupine kljub nasprotovanju nekaterih članov dvignil na višjo, bolj sofisticirano raven. Rezultat tega je album Pet Sounds iz leta 1966, s katerim se je skupina oddaljila od preprostega »surf rocka« in ustvarila enega od najpomembnejših albumov v zgodovini popularne glasbe. Drugo ključno obdobje Wilsonovega življenja so 80. leta, ko je Wilson psihično zlomljen, nestabilen, potrebuje spremstvo in pomoč svojega legalnega skrbnika, psihoterapevta Eugena Landyja. / ZDA / 2014 Režija: Bill Pohlad / Scenarij: Michael A.

Originalni opis filma:

Brian Wilson is the creative soul of The Beach Boys, but he paid a heavy price for his talent. That especially shows during his peak artistic years in the 1960s, as his inner demons and obsessions trying to please his abusive father drive him to a mental breakdown that would plague him for years. In the 1980s, with Brian barely functional under the domination of the unscrupulous Dr. Landy, Brian meets and falls in love with Melinda Ledbetter. As their relationship grows, she observes Brian's crippling subservience to the abusive psychotherapist with growing alarm. Ultimately, she must take action with a love willing to stand up to oppression she cannot ignore.
