Blinded By the Light a smashing film

Updated: Feb 8, 2021

Here's a fun film --


Blinded by the Light (2019) directed by Gurinder Chadha



"Once he heard the music of Bruce Springsteen, nothing could stop him"

"Inspired by a True Story"


Pakistani-Briton lad tries to find personal salvation through the music of The Boss in 1980's Thatcher's Britain.


As Emma Thompson's character said in Love Actually, the teen age years are always going to be a shitty time, no matter what else happens.


Here's how one lad tries to show he was "Born to Run."


One - Two - Three - Four!


(Blinded By the Light is available from the EPL and other fine libraries elsewhere.)
