Directed by Stephen Walker A crowed-pleaser in the best sense, this alternately hilarious and heartbreaking movie will send you out of the theatre with a new lease on life. The inspiring individuals of “Young at Heart, “ a New England senior citizens chorus, have delighted audiences worldwide with their covers of songs by everyone from The Clash to Coldplay. As Stephen Walker’s documentary begins, the retirees, led by their demanding musical director, are rehearsing their new show, struggling with Sonic Youth’s dissonant rock anthem “Scizophrenia” and giving new meaning to James Brown’s “I Feel Good.” What ultimately emerges is a funny and unexpectedly moving testament to friendship, creative inspiration, and defying expectations. “Young at Heart” from filmmakers Sally George and Stephen Walker, captures seven unforgettable weeks in the lives of the members of the Young at Heart Chorus. Based in Northampton, Massachusetts, the group is made up of two dozen spirited seniors who specialize in reinterpreting rock, punk, and R & B classics from a unique perspective. From 92-year-old war bride Eileen Hall’s rousing rendition of The Clash’s “Should I Stay Or Should I Go?” to Pat Linderme’s moving interpretation of Prince’s “Nothing Compares 2 U,” each performance responds to the ravages of age with startling emotional depth. After almost two months of shooting, the Young at Heart Chorus delivers a triumphant performance that celebrates the joy of music and the lives of their lost friends. The end result is an inspirational journey with a singular group of people who may be old in body, but refuse to grow old in spirit.
