The 1A Movie Club Sees ‘Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere’
Published 4 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
Bruce Springsteen is an American music legend. Songs like “Born to Run” and “Born in the USA” have echoed through ballparks, dive bars, TV shows, and politics for decades.
That’s why his new biopic, “Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere,” is unique. Instead of reckoning with The Boss’ glittering legacy, it focuses on a darker period of his career starting in 1981.
Played by Jeremy Allen White, Springsteen finishes touring his album “The River,” rents a house in New Jersey by himself, and turns his focus inward to grapple with his past and write a new album, “Nebraska.”
The 1A Movie Club convenes to talk about the film.
What has audience reception been to the movie? And what did "The Boss" have to say?
