Blinded by the Light

An East Asian teen in Thatcher’s Britain discovers self-worth via a cassette tape that looks like it survived a nuclear winter. He records his teen angst over Springsteen riffs, annoying his parents and baffling his friends. The soundtrack does all the heavy lifting, including emotional lift.
