THE SUNDAY FILM
Crazy comedy turned cult, The Blues Brothers brings together Dan Aykroyd and the late John Belushi in a succession of gags and memorable action scenes (including the masterful fall of the Ford Pinto from a helicopter …) punctuated by a soundtrack that turns out to be a tribute to music , mixing blues, rock’n’roll, gospel or even jazz. Celebrities of the genre make their appearance in the film: Aretha Franklin, who sings her hit “Think“, but also Ray Charles and James Brown.
