In 2008 Bond actor Daniel Craig starred in a film called Flashbacks of\u00a0 a Fool, about a failing Hollywood actor (Joe) who returns to England after the death of a childhood friend.<\/p>\n
Except it is not really about that. It is about regret and it struck a chord with me, not only because of its nuanced, open approach to its subject, but also because the film is inspired by a song that is also one of my favourite\u2019s, If there is something<\/em> from Roxy Music\u2019s first and most experimental album. And it is perhaps no coincidence that director Baillie Walsh, who is also a music video director, is the same generation as me and, it seems, shares some of my taste in music.<\/p>\n The film was critically panned on release and scores just 38% on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>; I feel it deserves better, with some magical moments including a wonderful scene with Felicity Jones as young Ruth, Joe\u2019s first love, a scene which really is a music video but one into which Walsh threw all his passion for the song.<\/p>\n
