The Music Never Stopped"...[The Music Never Stopped] honors the ability of music to heal even the most damaged soul." (James Greenberg, The Hollywood Reporter) Based on a case study by Dr. Oliver Sacks, M.D. (Awakenings) The Music Never Stopped chronicles the journey of a father and son adjusting to cerebral trauma in which the past, present, and future become indistinguishable. In 1967, after his father Henry Sawyer (J.K. Simmons) forbids him to see a Grateful Dead concert, Gabriel Sawyer (Lou Taylor Pucci) runs away from home. Nearly twenty years later, Henry is shocked to learn that the son he thought he had lost has a brain tumor, which has damaged the part of his brain that facilitates the creation of new memories. Through the music of iconic bands like The Beatles, Bob Dylan, and the Grateful Dead, The Music Never Stopped weaves Henry and Gabriel’s progress as they begin to form an unusual but emotionally vibrant bond through the music that animates Gabriel’s soul. Official Website / Trailer | The Hollywood Reporter review Jim Kohlberg. 2011. 105 m. USA. Roadside Attractions . 2:45 PM 5:10 PM 8:15 PM |
