[Slowhand] Clapton's Aussie mate recalls wild London

[Jon Maclean]

I have not seen this film (and the link on www.allmovie.com incorrectly
leads to a film called "Trouble In Mind", so I can't find further info),
but interestingly another of Mora's films was "Communion" starring
Christopher Walken, for which Clapton provided the title music. I hadn't
realised the connection with Mora dated back to the 60s.

So, what's this film, "Trouble in Molopolis", all about; has anyone seen
it?

I don't think EC would welcome comparison with a banker, especially at
the
moment ;~)

Clapton's Aussie mate recalls wild London

Paola Totaro
September 20, 2008

THEY were a group of young tearaways, flatmates during the swinging '60s
when London was the place to be.
On Thursday night, at the Aussie-owned Jane England gallery in Notting
Hill,
two of the rebels, Eric Clapton and Melbourne filmmaker Philippe Mora,
took
a gentle walk down memory lane to a time when Australians seemed to be
"everywhere, moving and shaking in fine arts, music and theatre, in
conventional, avant garde and counter culture . a combined outburst of
Australian creativity hitting foreign shores".
