Even if you never heard of Talking Heads, this concert film will blow your mind.
David Byrne, the performance, the camera, the whole dramaturgy and of course some good but never old punk, rock, funk, new wave music … don’t even know what genre to put them.

Eno is the new documentary about Brian Eno directed by Gary Hutswit. The movie uses a programmed script to show different footage and edit the film in a unique way every single time it is played— no version is definitive, and none will be seen again. You could view that as a gimmick, but the idea runs parallel to Eno’s invention of generative music, and his belief in planting artistic seeds that continue to grow after he lets go.
I’m sure its iterations remain somewhat consistent, because it felt fairly cohesive and thematic to me. But instead of regurgitating his Wiki page at you in chronological order, it focuses on Eno’s artistic philosophy, his singular character and the way he lives his life now. All that with plenty of detours into archival footage featuring recording sessions with David Bowie, Talking Heads, U2, Roxy Music, John Cale, etc. Also he’s really funny.
Easily one of the most interesting music docs I’ve seen.

I usually can’t bear documentaries where people just sit and tell stories on camera, so this one was such a gem for me. it’s entirely made up of footage from Bowie’s speeches and performances, much of which had never been seen before. the editing is boldly creative, and the overall experience feels like a trip

The new documentary 😉 directed by Alex Ross Perry about the world’s most important and influential band Pavement. Rock-doc, mock-doc, bio-pic, call it what you will… the film pushes the form forward and is an all-around treat! 👨🍳
