DVD Reviews of Prey for Rock & Roll
DVD Review: All my life, all I wanted to be was a rock 'n' roll star
Summary: 3 Stars
You know there's something wrong with a movie, when you have to wait forty minutes for the drama to develop, and when it does develop, its about a straight couple who's fantasy is a simulated rape scene. Unfortunately, for the couple, and for the movie the rape scene gets out of hand and an unfortunate lesbian becomes the recipient of the man's furtive desires. Obviously, this movie was a labor of love for Gena Gershon, but Prey for Rock and Roll is ultimately hampered by a bad script, a lackluster story, and some of the most dreadful garage singing that you're ever likely to hear.
Set in Silver Lake, Los Angeles, Prey for Rock and Roll follows the trials and tribulations of forties quasi-bisexual rocker Jacki (Gina Gershon). The lead singer in a semi lesbian all girl punk band, Jacki is getting on in years and worries whether she is ever going to make it big in a scene where the emphasis is on youth and vitality. Complete with bleached bangs and a collection of tattoos, she spends her days working in a tattoo parlor, while at nights she gets down and rocks out in seedy, grungy pubs. But tragedy seems to be constantly striking her band - one member develops a nasty drug habit, another member is brutally raped, and her lead guitarist is involved in a terrible car accident. The band members then join together and sing depressing (and terrible) songs about these problems. One realizes pretty early on why these girls can't land a lucrative record deal.
Gershon is undoubtedly edgy and sexy but her pseudo-lesbianism comes across as forced and unbelievable, particularly when she develops an attraction to Animal, the brother of one of her band members. Animal is played by the sexy Marc Blucas, although it would have been nice for his character to be more developed. Gershon is the only reason to watch the film, her performance is courageous mainly because she does her own singing and she has a kind of earthy, sexy appeal that lends itself well to this kind of character. The film raises some interesting questions about the ruthlessness of the music industry, but nothing is ever developed beyond the clichés of the over-the-hill manager, and the tragic (and misguided) connection of drugs with this kind if music. Mike Leonard October 04.
