In Western Stars, Springsteen performs songs
from his latest album of the same title, but the film also
features clips from his earlier years, and wide, sweeping shots
of the landscape of the American West which served as
inspiration.
Popularly known as "The Boss", Springsteen also narrates in
parts.
"It's just a continuation of the stories I've been writing my
whole career," he told journalists on the red carpet before the
screening. "And I hope that it's something, that it's inspiring
and fun and people enjoy it."
Throughout his career, the New Jersey-born singer-songwriter
has repeatedly returned to the experience of American
blue-collar lives for the themes of his music.
Co-director Thom Zimny described how he used the emotion of the
music to frame the film's evocative images.
"I was really responding to the sonic qualities of the strings,
and the sonic qualities that I found on the album I thought
would translate into a great cinematic experience," Zimny said.
The film will be released in the United States on Oct. 25.
