Capsule review: Elton John - Captain fantastic and the brown dirt cowboy (1975)


Psychiatrist: 'Elton, have you considered writing down your issues in a diary?'
Elton: 'I know, I'll get Bernie to do it!'
On a wave of success artists invent these origin stories for their fame and fortune, as if their vocation was pre-ordained. But a night on the tiles with Long John Baldry is a poor narrative construct. Life should have gifted Elton something grander, monumental. The Ben Hur of self-help.
