Love & Mercy is screening as part of the Balerno Music Festival. And continuing the music theme for October we are delighted to be joined by young singer/songwriter Gus Harrower who will be playing live before the film. Gus won the Song Academy Young Songwriter 2016 (and we think he is brilliant too).
The film is about Brian Wilson (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.
