| Description: |
A sad comedy about ageing, failure and football, Elton John's Glasses announces the arrival of a writer with a sympathy for character and relationships. |
| Synopsis: |
Bill is a fanatical supporter of Watford F.C. Day after day he sits in his unfurnished flat, watching the 1984 Cup Final with an obsession verging on madness. The video replays the fatal moment when the Watford goalkeeper fumbles the ball and Everton takes a two-nil lead. Bill blames the keeper's mishaps on the glare from Elton John's Glasses. Reconciled to an agoraphobic existence, Bill laments the decline of his beloved team: 'It was there the dream died.'. A comedy about ageing, failure and football, Elton John's Glasses announces the arrival of a talented writer with a rare sympathy for character and relationships. |
