The bedhead it transpires was a gold inlaid screen which Farr found at a hire company, and the bedside lights were from Modern Props. They weren’t strictly of the 80s period in which the scenes in this house took place, but they had the “right colour, shape and feel” says Farr. No, but it doesn't pretend to be. The chronology is all over the place, with the songs serving as devices to move the story on rather than appearing where history suggests they should. Think of it more of a spectacular, fantasy portrayal of Elton John's story.

I'm so proud of Elton...but I can't forgive him for missing our father's funeral; BROTHER BREAKS HIS SILENCE TO REVEAL THE TRUTH ABOUT FAMILY SPLIT. - Free Online Library". thefreelibrary.com.The film has been referred to as a ‘fantasy musical’ so I was intrigued to know if this is the way Rowland and Farr were briefed at the beginning of their work on the film. “Not really, it wasn’t billed that way, and when we first read the script it could have been taken in many different ways but what was pivotal to the way the film works, is that certain parts of Elton’s life are explained through the music, even though it’s not chronologically accurate” says Rowland. The songs are incorporated, as Taron Egerton puts it “to express important beats in his life at emotional moments”. The film acts as a kind of jukebox. The film sets and the music (and editing of course) help drive the story and the pace as the film builds.

The epilogue notes that Elton has been sober for over 28 years. He remains good friends and song-writing partners with Bernie and is happily married to David Furnish, with whom he has two children. Taron Egerton, Jamie Bell and Richard Madden (left to right) play Elton John, Bernie Taupin and John Reid, respectively. We’re big fans of wallpaper in film here at Film and Furniture (we take great pleasure from identifying these details) so we were delighted to see both Rowland and Farr get quite animated when we asked about the wallpaper in this house: “The wallpaper is real paper from the period, but sourcing authentic wallpaper which isn’t just one roll isn’t always easy and especially difficult when wallpaper from this period comes with awkward edging that needs to be cut off, it rips really easily and its just very fiddly – our decorators hate it” says Farr. “We like to source from the period as the texture and depth makes a big difference rather than designing it and printing it up new which can look a little soulless” she adds.

Rowland explains to me how it was an interesting brief for them as Production Designer and Set Decorator given the film jumps around from period to period, so they felt liberated to explore. “It was nice to get the period bits in too, such as the childhood home of Pinner which is a little more grounded in reality, but then contrast this later in the film when we get a little more bonkers!” exclaims Farr. a b c d e Stein, Ellin (29 May 2019).
