Ray Davies - Return To Waterloo

Ray Davies of the Kinks, well-respected as one of rocks best storytellers, makes his filmmaking debut as director, writer and composer of RETURN TO WATERLOO.

This hour long feature is a unique approach to the synthesis of music, video and cinema. Instead of dialogue, the story is told through music and lyrics. The haunting songs, unavailable on any Kinks album, take renowned actor Ken Colley on a suspenseful journey through his imagination, as he confronts reality and fantasy, love and violence.

Also starring Valerie Holliman, Dominique Barnes, Tim Roth and (briefly) Ray Davies himself. This film, a cult classic, is a watershed event in the development of the music video art form, as it was created for itself rather than to promote a record; not a concert, not a grouping of promo videos, this is a real movie and an impressive directorial debut.

RETURN TO WATERLOO embraces Ray Davies satirical (and occasionally comical) view of modern society, as reflected in over thirty albums over a remarkable twenty-five years with The Kinks.

.a little masterpiece, Davies got it just right. The Listener (BBC)
.strikingly original and, at times, brilliant. London Daily Mail
.a cryptic but arresting blend of drama and pop video, a kind of minds eye journey with music. The (London) Standard
