Glastonbury The Movie: In Flashback Review

Glastonbury is a Mecca of myriad delights and Robin Mahoney’s window into its magic via three days — and nights — in 1993 allows us to explore those Technicolor fields, as it follows revellers, vendors and performers as they morph into psychedelic hippies. That year saw the last ‘old school’ Glasto, and this re-edited version of the original 1993 film often feels dated; the hedonism (“It’s all about freedom of behaviour!”) still exists, but the narrative of the festival has changed somewhat. Still, hearing The Orb full-throttle in a cinema is novel.
