The Verve: Bittersweet Symphony

Available · one owner only

Archive note

A proposed 1997 film adaptation of The Verve's breakthrough single, directed as a neo-realist urban drama centered on Richard Ashcroft's face and the grey Manchester streets that inspired the track. The poster suggests a cinematic vision that never materialized, positioning Ashcroft as a solitary, haunted figure against a landscape of indifference. Collectors of lost 90s music cinema and alternate music-video histories.
