Synopsis:
A documentary about Radiohead's life on the road during the OK Computer
world tour.
Review:
Before I comment on the film, what the fuck's up with that Capitol Records
logo? I gotta say that it's hands down the best company logo I've ever
seen. I can't help but wonder two things; how much did it cost and why
the fuck did they spend so much? Anyway, nice job. Now onto the film.
Like any documentary
if you don't like the subject matter, you won't like the film. In the
case of Music doc's it's doubly so. That said, all you Backstreet Boys,
N'sync and Britney fans out there (Betty and Dianne this means you) do
not buy this DVD. You won't like it, or understand it.
But I'd have to say
that film is something of an exception of sorts. Although full of clips
of the band playing live, this is in no way just a concert video. Basically
this film drives home the point a popular artist's life consists of playing
the same songs, meeting the same kind of people, and answering the same
dumb questions over and over and over again.
Video and Audio:
Presented in a variety of film stocks and hand-held video camera shots,
it's kinda hard to say that there were any problems with the transfer.
I however didn't see an artifacting during the movie. I also gotta say
that someone dropped the ball when it came to the chapters on this disc.
There was one. Which made stopping, and then coming back to this movie
a nightmare.
On the other hand, the audio was fucking amazing. The Dolby 5.1, Dolby
2.0 and Digital Dts audio channels ensure that you will enjoy great sound
no matter what kind of audio set-up you have.
"This film contains
stroboscopic effects that may adversely affect epilepsy suffers". - This
was written on the packaging. I thought it sounded cool.
