From 20th Century Studios, Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere chronicles the making of Bruce Springsteen’s 1982 “Nebraska” album, following the success of his 1980 album, ‘The River’ and before the infamous’ Born in the USA’ album in 1984.
It was a time when Springsteen was a young musician on the cusp of global superstardom but burnt out, struggling to reconcile the pressures of success with the ghosts of his strained relationship with his father and his battle with depression. Recorded on a 4-track recorder in Springsteen’s New Jersey bedroom, the album marked a pivotal time in his life and is considered one of his most enduring works – a raw, haunted acoustic record populated by lost souls searching for a reason to believe.
The film depicts a man who is afraid at times to say out loud what he is dealing with – an American man enduring loneliness and a kind of spiritual devastation. The story is “about 1982 but it’s also a story about right now. I hope one thing the movie does is make us all think about going out the door less than perfect and slightly more human because of it” writer Warren Zane
