Movie Reviews of VH1 (Inside) Out - Warren Zevon: Keep Me in Your Heart
Movie Review: "Enjoy Every Sandwich!"
Summary: 5 Stars
A little over a decade ago, I saw singer/songwriter, Warren Zevon perform in a Maryland night club. It was a huge place, but the audience consisted of me and three other people(one of whom became my future wife). Despite the miniscule turn out, Warren put on one heck of a great rockin' show. It was this memory, that came to mind, when I heard that Zevon had died of a rare form of lung cancer. Now out on DVD is the sad, yet oddly uplifting documentry, "VH1 (Inside)Out:Warren Zevon".The copy on the DVD case reads, "a documentary about the making of the Grammy nominated album THE WIND", Warren Zevon's final recording". Yes, the majority of the story takes place during the recording sessions, that Zevon threw himself into once he learned of his disease, but it is about so much more than that.This is a film about a man who is facing his own mortality. Ironically, he is an artist who for over thirty years wrote songs in a humorous vein about death and some of the more destructive vices, that he had engaged in. It is with this good humor and a certain amount of grace, that he approaches what is happening to him. Yes, Zevon admits in the film, that he is very angry inside, because his life is being cut short.But he does not see himself as being heroic and says "it would be a sin not to want to live". The film shows a man, who is not only seen playing his music, but is literally playing for time. He makes the most of the precious moments with old friends (including Springsteen, Jackson Browne, Don Henley, Timothy B. Schmit) and his family.It is only fitting then, that among the last tunes the documentary shows Zevon recording is the emotionally moving song "Keep Me in Your Heart".One of my favorite moments in the film is footage from "The Late Show with David Letterman". In a rather uncharacteristically serious moment, Letterman asks Zevon "From your perspective now...do you know something about life and death, that I don't know?" With his typical wit and dry humor Zevon responds, "Not unless, I know how much your suppose to enjoy every sandwich". Dosn't that just about say it all?
Summary of VH1 (Inside) Out - Warren Zevon: Keep Me in Your Heart
This moving, absorbing documentary is about the making of singer-songwriter Warren Zevon's final CD, the much-admired, star-studded The Wind. But more than that, it's about the final year of Zevon's life, and the way he approached what he called his "imminent demise" (which came in September '03). Zevon surely didn't plan on dying of lung cancer (although given his wry, sly, subversive sense of humor, he probably saw it as a good career move). But when doctors gave him the word, he became driven by an intense desire, and then urgency, to finish the music and leave a lasting farewell before his final goodbye; and he did, with the help of Bruce Springsteen, members of the Eagles, Ry Cooder, and others. Zevon is without self-pity; he knows what's coming, he's dealing with it, and in the process, an artist who'd always been preoccupied with death in his songs wrote some of his best when faced with his own mortality. Add to that a generous helping of bonus material (videos of two songs from The Wind, with Springsteen on "Disorder in the House"; interviews, home movies, excerpts from the sessions), and you've gotta figure Zevon himself would be pleased. --Sam GrahamSimilar DVD Movies
