About This Movie

So, 'Idea' from 1968 is this intriguing blend of documentary and music, directed by Jean-Christophe Averty. It’s like a snapshot of the late '60s music scene, with the Bee Gees at the forefront, performing live. The atmosphere is very much of its time—there's a certain rawness to the performances that captures that era’s spirit. You also get appearances from Julie Driscoll and Brian Auger, which adds to the eclectic vibe. The pacing is interesting too; it flows between songs and brief moments of commentary, giving you a sense of the cultural landscape. What stands out is the visual style—Averty's direction brings a kind of dreamlike quality to the whole thing. Definitely a treat for those into music history and the evolution of performance art.
