The Worst Film Ever

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Concert footage from Dire Straits' concerts at Nimes, France, and Feyenoord Stadium, Rotterdam, Holland in May 1992. Tracks include: Calling Elvis; Walk of Life; Heavy Fuel; Romeo and Juliet; The Bug; Private Investigations; Your Latest Trick; On Every Street; You and Your Friend; Money for Nothing; Brothers in Arms; Solid Rock; Local Hero – Wild Theme.The benchmark for Dire Straits concert films, and for most concert films, is their 1983 film Alchemy. Atmospheric with superb music, great virtuoso performances, excellent arrangements, well filmed. On The Night has the excellent musicianship but is quite up to the standard of Alchemy in the other departments. The music has the obligatory overweight to tracks from their latest album, On Every Street, which is easily their worst album. The Bug and Heavy Fuel are pretty good but Calling Elvis must be their worst ever recording and the other two, You and Your Friend and On Every Street, are so-so. As a result, not much by way of pre-Brothers in Arms stuff, which harms the quality.This also impacts on the arrangements. Their earlier stuff was long, wonderfully structured and majestic (Telegraph Road springs immediately to mind). The Brothers in Arms and On Every Street stuff was shorter and more commercial. So instead of these wonderfully long, structure-based songs we have more short and sharp ones.Filming is fine, though pretty standard. Alchemy seemed to capture the essence of a live concert while this feels a bit more perfunctory. Overall: very good, but not among the top concert films you'll ever see.

the best music ever... better than any album version.. excellent performance, especially Mark's relaxed style and Paul's pedal steel.. my vote was 10/10.. I couldn't find 20/10 :) The concert begins on daylight with catchy songs like Calling Elvis, Walk Of LIfe (check out the pedal steel guitar!!) and when the night falls, ballads like Romeo and Juliet (Sax is great!), Brothers in Arms, Private Investigations and You and Your Friend makes me regret that in 1993 I was only a kid and I was not allowed to travel abroad all by myself... that's real music and unfortunately great things do not just happen.. I suggest you also watch Pulse (Pink FLoyd), for another amazing performance.

This concert is recorded in two places-Rotterdam ,Holland and Nimes, France in May 1992-the last Dire Straits tour-On Every Street. It presents Dire Straits like one of the best live performance group ever.Mark Knopfler discloses his great talent like guitar player and singer in this concert. They plays their most popular songs in other versions with different instruments and style-Walk of Life, Brothers in Arms, Your Latest Trick,On Evert Street, Money for Nothing and the beautiful Romeo and Juliet. Here you can listen other excellent musicians like Alan Clark and Guy Fletcher(keyboards), Chris White (saxophones), Paul Franklin (pedal steel guitar)...etc.Amazing concert!!

Recorded during Dire Straits' last tour in 1992, in France, this concert confirms well a thing: Mark Knopfler is one of the most talented guitarists of his generation. He had formed his legendary band, fifteen years ago, and after all this time, he didn't lose anything from his inspiration, his sharpness and his talent. Maybe, you can blame him for not being rousing enough for the faster songs such as "money for nothing" or "the bug" but he knows very well how to be peaceful and calm for the gorgeous ballads "on every street", "brothers in arms". Moreover, he's supported by a handful of musicians in great form, especially the drummer and the percussionist. The concert unanimously acclaimed by the fans,reaches its highest point with the wistful and entrancing "local hero". At the end, a good but a bit listless concert. Nevertheless, Dire Straits' fans will find something in it.
