Description
[Machine Translation] "The sound, it was too huge. " A Dinosaur Jr. documentary of decay and rebirth communicated only through music. The first documentary film about Dinosaur Jr. The film is an official film produced by the band itself, and focuses on the relationship between the three original members, J. Maskis (G./Vo.), Lou Barlow (B.), and Murph (D.), along with rare footage from the band's past. (The band's official film, produced by the band itself, focuses on J. Maskis, who says, "I really wanted a Stratocaster, but I didn't have the money, so I had to buy a Jazzmaster. Dinosaur Jr.'s ferocious roar was pioneered by Sonic Youth before the grunge movement of Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, etc. broke out, and their second album was released on SST Records, a label run by Greg Ginn (Black Flag), who is regarded as the fuhrer of US hardcore. The band's unique and unique vocals, which were not unlike those of Neil Young or Nick Cave, were extremely unnerving and gained a huge following in the underground world of Europe and the U.S. However, an incident during a tour led to the release of their second album on SST Records, operated by Greg Ginn (Black Flag), the supreme authority in the U.S. hardcore world. However, the relationship between the three fell apart after an incident during a tour. Lou and Murph left the band one after another, and Dinosaur Jr. welcomed new members and continued their activities, with J. Maskis taking on more of a solo role. Dinosaur Jr.'s music was not about trying to sell or get other people to listen to it, and Lou Barlow ("We never thought about how many people would show up or how many people would listen to us. We were doing the show to attack the audience. In contrast to the rock-star bands that glitz and glamour to gain popularity, the three of them have no interest in anything other than music, and their only communication is through music. Philip Rockenheim, who is in-laws with J. Maskis, has brought out the honest testimonies of each of the three original members, who were united only by their music, and has compiled a loving perspective that does not permit showy production, up to the present day, when the band has been reunited since 2005. The Berlin-based director, who has directed more than 100 music videos to date, has been active in the world of music videos for many years, and his work has been used in Jim Jarmusch's "Gimme Danger" ( 2016 ). The way he captures the band's history as well as their current incarnation, which has been reborn, is reminiscent of the film "Pixies: Loud Quiet Loud" ( 2006 ), and the gentle way he approaches his subjects in the film "Minute Men: We Jam Econo" ( 2005 ). The film is a tight, careful, and sincere portrayal of Dinosaur Jr.'s feelings, appearance, and music over a period of 30 years, which also reflects the nature of human growth and friendship.
