Nobody Someday (2002)
A popstar disenchanted with popstardom,
Robbie Williams wonders if he should continue his career.
He hates the gossip, hates the attention, hates fame. He even
hates his songs.
Nothing was off-limits to Brian Hill
in the making of this documentary. With access to the hotel
rooms, backstage areas, entourage meetings and private life
of a disarmingly frank popstar, we go in search of the real
Robbie on a gruelling five-week European concert tour. Robbie’s
kicked his drug and booze habit for the umpteenth time and
is determined to stick it out. But the pressure of performing
and life on the road doesn’t make it easy.
Williams is refreshingly honest and sensible
yet is as fickle as the British weather. No sooner has the
tour begun, than he’s back on top of the world. "I'm
standing on stage thinking 'I'm ace!' and at the same time
30,000 people scream 'I agree!' What could be better than
that?"

| “We can’t
knock it. Robbie Williams entertains us like no other in his
big screen debut.”
B Magazine (Film
of the Month).
“Abrasive and astoundingly candid
… a fascinating look inside the music business.”
Sydney Morning Herald.
“Comes across like a real-life
Spinal Tap for the post-Smash Hits generation.”
Barbara Ellen, The
Times.
“There are plenty of laughs,
most courtesy of Williams himself. Throughout, he’s
sincere enough not to be irritating and amusing enough not
to lose our sympathy. Hill, meanwhile, never sidesteps, shirks
or sanitises, simply showing us a pop icon at both his best
and his worst. Watch it, and be reminded just how bizarre
celebrity can be.”
Dan Jolin, Total
Film.
