There is a wonderful and very poignant moment in this doco when Ute Lemper has revealed to her the orchestration layered over her vocal performance in a track written for her by Scott Walker. I found the performance clips, especially from the 60's, to be worth the price of the video alone. not bad - a little slow moving.

I'm much more of a fan of Scott's earlier work than I am of his later work, & I would have liked to have seen more emphasis on the earlier parts of Scott's career, but I understand that Scott has moved on from there, & what is undoubtedly of more interest for him is his more recent work, so naturally that's the time period on which he would want to provide greater elaboration.
