US EditionReview: Jeremy Allen White Is a Tortured Boss in 'Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere'
The film explores Springsteen's choice to release raw, personal recordings from his 1982 Nebraska album despite industry pressure to polish them, highlighting the protective role of manager Jon Landau.
- Now in cinemas, Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere adapts Warren Zanes's study, focusing on Bruce Springsteen, musician's making of Nebraska, directed by Scott Cooper, writer-director.
- After a 140-date tour, Bruce Springsteen retreated to a rented house in Colts Neck, New Jersey, where he recorded 17 songs on a basic four-track cassette recorder.
- Refusing overdubs, Springsteen found E Street Band upscaling unsatisfactory and, with Jon Landau, decided to release ten songs unchanged, insisting on reproducing the distorted cassette sound exactly despite Chuck Plotkin's confusion.
- Masanobu Takayanagi, cinematographer, uses hand-held camera work to evoke rough-hewn authenticity, while Jeremy Allen White, actor, captures Springsteen's flinty gaze and rasp despite vocal differences.
- Based on Warren Zanes's study, the film honors unsung collaborators supporting Nebraska and reaffirms it as Bruce Springsteen's darkest, most personal, and finest acoustic album.
