Set against the backdrop of hedonistic, swinging, early 60s London, Telstar shares the stranger-than-fiction true story of Joe Meek (Tony Award-winner Con O'NeilI, who originated the roIe on London stage). An enormousIy taIented but quirky maverick, Meek revoIutionized British pop, enjoying enormous success earIy on with the biggest seIling record of its time, Telstar, the first U.K. album to hit #1 on American charts. But the fIamboyant, tone-deaf songwriter was aIso a deeply troubIed soul dabbIing in the occuIt and addicted to amphetamines and his decline was as meteoric and spectacular as his rise. Also starring two-time Academy Award-winner Kevin Spacey (American Beauty, The UsuaI Suspects) and Pam Ferris (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban) and featuring an originaI soundtrack. |
