The Lost Weekend

Don Birnam, long-time alcoholic, has been "on the wagon" for ten days and seems to be over the worst; but his craving has just become more insidious. Evading a country weekend planned by his brother Wick and girlfriend Helen, he begins a four-day bender. In flashbacks we see past events, all gone wrong because of the bottle. But this bout looks like being his last…one way or the other.

Un giovane scrittore, dopo un precoce successo iniziale, incontra sul suo cammino delle serie difficoltà per sottrarsi al tormento delle quali ricorre all'alcool. Lasciatosi andare per la china fatale in breve diventa un alcoolizzato e a nulla servono gli sforzi del fratello e della propria fidanzata per strapparlo al vizio - Don Birnam, long-time alcoholic, has been "on the wagon" for ten days and seems to be over the worst; but his craving has just become more insidious. Evading a country weekend planned by his brother Wick and girlfriend Helen, he begins a four-day bender. In flashbacks we see past events, all gone wrong because of the bottle.

The ever autumnal trio (and sometimes quartet) paint a lovely picture of country sides, bonfires, and melancholy with their tender guitar pop. Collection includes: Suburban Light (2000); The Violet Hour (2003); Strange Geometry (2005); God Save The Clientele (2007).

Join The Q is the 2008 album by The Qemists, featuring collaborations with Mike Patton, Jenna G, Wiley, Beardyman and others. This was released by Ninja Tune.
