“A thrillingly creative music documentary that serves as a loving tribute to the band. The sense of fun that Alex Ross Perry is having behind the camera is both palpable and infectious.”—Matthew Turner, NME

An examination of the iconic 90s indie band, Pavements appears to be just another music documentary, until it doesn’t.

A prismatic, narrative, scripted, documentary, musical, metatextual hybrid, the film intimately shows the band preparing for their sold-out 2022 reunion tour while simultaneously tracking the preparations for a musical based on their songs, a museum devoted to their history and a big-budget Hollywood biopic inspired by their saga as the most important band of a generation. A selection of the New York Film Festival. 2024, U.S., DCP, 128 minutes. Recommended for 16+.
