Young at Heart
Aka "Young@Heart". An international film festival favourite, spending time with the Young@Heart Chorus as they rehearse for their annual Northampton concert. The choir of 22 energetic senior citizens, whose average age is 80, made a name for themselves with their unique interpretations of modern rock songs including those of Coldplay, The Clash, Jimi Hendrix and Sonic Youth. Thoroughly absorbing with a captivating blend of real-life humour, pathos, poignancy and joy, this ultimately uplifting documentary does everything a feel-good film should.
