PARADOX
Director: Daryl Hannah
w/ Neil Young + Promise Of The Real & Willie Nelson

As we reported last month, a new Neil Young film will premiere at the SXSW Film Festival. The film's director is Daryl Hannah and the Producer credits are "Bernard Shakey" and "Elliot Rabinowitz" (Neil & Roberts).

From SXSW Film Festival listing:
Time is fluid in this far-fetched, whimsical western tale of music and love.

Somewhere in the future past, The Man In the Black Hat hides out between heists at an old stagecoach stop with Jail Time, the Particle Kid, and an odd band of outlaws. Mining the detritus of past civilizations, they wait… for the Silver Eagle, for the womenfolk, and for the full moon's magic to give rise to the music and make the spirits fly.
We have a particular interest in the film as we attended the Neil Young + Promise Of The Real concerts in Telluride, Colorado in 2016 where the band performed in full retro Western outfits for the film.

More at SXSW Film Festival in Austin, TX, March 9–18, 2018.

More on the dream weekend when Rusties did a take over of a small town ski resort for a weekend for Neil Young + Promise Of The Real concerts in Telluride, Colorado in 2016.

Oh, what a weekend ... probably one of our top Neil and rustie experiences of our lifetimes!

UPDATE:
From Rolling Stone:
So here's what we know about the feature-length directorial debut from Splash/Kill Bill star Daryl Hannah: It's described as both "a whimsical Western" and a "Loud poem"; her significant other Neil Young is in it; he performs in full old-timey frontier guard [sic, garb?] with the band Promise of the Real; Willie Nelson drops by as well; and there are characters named the Particle Kid, Jail Time and the Man in the Black Hat. Everything else is up for grabs, but whether this is a masterpiece or a magnificent, flaming car wreck, the chance of us being bored is exactly zero-point-zero percent.

  3. From Powderfinger to Sixty To Zero to Greendale, Neil usually comes up with something exciting when he approaches his music from a cinematic perspective. Looking forward to this.

  4. This could well explain the "Soundtrack" listings on the Archives Timeline. (Apologies to anyone who figured this out ages ago.)

  10. This may be the POTR album we were waiting for? Maybe decent versions of the Peace Trail songs finally? Peace Trail meets Dead Man meets POTR?

    1. What's wrong with the versions on Peace Trail? It's the most funky he has sounded in years, with every layer of sound being pure Neil Young.
