1971–1985 er en højhastighedsskildring af den danske kunstner Martin Halls barndom og tidlige ungdom, en teenagekrønike der stiller skarpt på en både personlig og kulturel brydningstid i et spraglet og ramponeret København. Fra 70’ernes hårdt rastede sorthvide fotos til 80’er-dekadencens polaroidbilleder, fra glamrock til punk og fra Madame Arthur til Rockmaskinen: Turen er lang fra Francos Spanien, hvor Martin Hall som ung dreng en overgang boede, til Vesterbrogades pornobiografer. Med skarpsynede, usentimentale iagttagelser af egne forældres eventyrlyst og lettere hasarderede levemåde beskriver han 70’ernes alkoholkultur og tiltagende seksualisering, periodens voldelige politiske klima og en ny generations brud med foregående normer og værdier. Skrevet i et formildende enkelt sprog fortæller Hall om sin opvækst og dannelse som kunstner i en hektisk, episodisk byhistorie, et København hvor steder og omstændigheder danner ramme for både håb og store menneskelige tragedier. I en nutid, hvor alle gerne vil være unikke, om end helst på samme måde som alle andre, er dette fortællingen om den mest umulige af alle kunstarter: det at blive sig selv. ”Afsindigt skarp … Martin Halls evne til at reflektere og formidle sin forståelse er beundringsværdig.” ( * * * * ) GAFFA
