A movie as a soundtrack, however this time the musical story is told by means of the pictures. It is a story about Tom Barman, the man who composed the soundtrack. Public figure Tom Barman hardly needs introduction: he is front man of rock band dEUS, musical factotum and the man behind the 0110 happening against ultra-right. However the extrovert artist – who enchants, seduces, affects and inspires – hardly ever bares his soul. Klaas Janszoon, Barman’s longtime companion at dEUS, says: “After all these years I still believe that I get to know Tom more from his lyrics than from what he says to me.” “Tom Barman – Portrait of a Young Man as an Artist” aims at baring this soul – from Pocket Revolution’s release two years ago to Vantage Point in 2008, at a concert in a full Ancienne Belgique, featuring Tom’s mother and the striking resemblances between her and her son. For two years Tom allowed the camera into his world as an exclusive friend. A soundtrack of Tom Barman through Antwerp, music, politics and life.
