The rockumentary genre has never quite recovered from the pasting it received from "This is Spinal Tap", though the news evidently hasn't penetrated the narcissistic world of pop's elite. Madonna and U2 had a go with "Truth or Dare" and "Rattle & Hum" respectively, and now it's Robbie Williams' turn with this intimate fly-on-the-wall documentary about his 2001 European tour.
The title - a reference to his recent autobiography "Somebody Someday" - is a reflection of the mood director Brian Hill found Robbie in when he began following his every move at the beginning of 2001. On the wagon and profoundly disillusioned with his fame, Robbie cuts a sombre, maudlin figure far removed from his cheeky chappie persona. His mood was hardly improved by an omnipresent press core, technical cock-ups, or the deranged fan who pushed him off stage in Stuttgart (an incident dramatically caught on camera and included here).
Gradually, though, Williams rediscovers his good humour and realises it's not really so bad being an international showbiz celebrity. It's hard to feel much sympathy for Robbie and his millions, but Hill does manage to peel back some of the cocky artifice his subject has constructed around himself. It helps that Robbie is as much a comic as he is a singer, taking every opportunity to send himself up or mercilessly mock his critics.
With plentiful black-and-white excerpts of the Robster in concert, this is both a must-see for fans and an entertaining expose of the psychological pressures of stardom.
