Almost Famous

Cameron Crowe / US, 2000 / 123 min.

Crowe won an Oscar for this very amusing coming-of-age-story about a 15-year-old journalist who goes on tour with an up-and-coming rock band in the early 1970s, loosely based on Crowe’s own experiences as a teenage Rolling Stone author. Also features Frances McDormand.
