Gary Tarn's remarkable film Black Sun, winner of many international awards and co-produced by Alfonso Cuarón (Y tu mamá también, Children of Men) and John Battsek (One Day in September), tells the story of Hugues de Montalembert, a French artist and filmmaker living in New York, who was blinded during a violent assault in 1978. With this portrait of an unique man and his extraordinary reaction to a life-changing trauma, Tarn has created an expressionist film whose power lies in visualising a world from the perspective of the blind de Montalembert. Part-survivor's testimony, part-philosophical meditation on the nature of perception, Black Sun is a celebration of life that makes us see the world anew.

The film captures the guitarist as he begins working on a long talked about project with The Who's Roger Daltrey and his experiences on what he believes will be his farewell tour. |
