“Bruce Springsteen has a very ambiguous relationship with glory and celebrity”: we talked about The Boss with Scott Cooper, director of “Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere”

No bandana tied on the forehead, nor these triumphant stadium tours which reinforce his popular legend: it is a Bruce Springsteen on the threshold of his own glory that Scott Cooper portrays in this beautiful autumn film which arrives in French cinemas this Wednesday, October 22. “Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere” draws its inspiration from a sequence that is both decisive and paradoxical in the artist’s life. Like a Cistercian monk, we see the Boss composing “Nebraska” (1982), this masterpiece of an album unplugged which will send him to the rock pantheon but also drag him into an abysmal depression.

Both a sensitive observer of little people and a solid Hollywood director (“Crazy Heart”, “Strictly Criminal”), Scott Cooper signs a sober and hushed character study, a sincere tribute to the Springsteenian musical genius which also sounds like an ode to a job well done.
