“In the daytime the stars will shine” (video/DVD)
Reviewer: CosmicFighter

This is a very professional and thought provoking film.

After the tragic death of Rolans father (Marc Bolan) in 1977, when Rolan was only two years old, his mother (Gloria Jones) took him to America.
During the film both Gloria and her brother Richard Jones are interviewed, they give their reasons for why it was best for Rolan to grow up in America. Rolan tells of his youth and why he decided to come over to the U.K. when he did in 1997.

The filmmakers follow Rolan from L.A. to London; they show the immediate press and media coverage Rolan has to contend with from the moment he steps off the plane. Rolan came to London in September ’97 when he was asked to unveil a memorial stone given in the memory of his dad by the BPRS (British Performing Rights Society). He explains why he felt this was the best time for him to come over.

You witness the elation, the sadness and the emotional turmoil as Rolan comes to terms with learning about his dad; he meets his dad’s family and many of his dads
fans. You also get rare footage of Rolan performing with his first band “The Brothers Bounce”. Rolan is interviewed throughout the film and has some interesting comments.
Rolan is filmed constantly from 1997 to 2001 there are many insights into all that is Bolan.

This is a very moving biographical film and is a must have video/DVD for all Bolan fans.

The DVD version has the added bonus of a superb concert from the “Nighttown club” in Rotterdam; Rolan performs with the band “Mercy Mercy”. This is not tacky footage just to appease DVD buyers; it has great sound and picture quality.
The DVD can be ordered from our shop or from Zest Pictures.
