An insanely entertaining portrait of the iconic indie band Pavement – a unique blend of mockumentary, Broadway musical, and rock biography.
How do you tell the story of the 90s heroes Pavement? How do you do justice to the band’s uniquely ironic approach to both their music and their career? Visionary maverick Alex Ross Perry (Golden Exits GFF 2017, Her Smell GFF 2019) takes on the challenge with just the right balance of artistic recklessness, blending a star-studded Hollywood biopic with classic archival material and rehearsals for a musical based on the band’s music. The result is a completely unique meta-work bursting with love and reverence for the band’s place in history – a music film that forever pushes the boundaries of the genre.
