Film Information

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.

Reviews

“Splicing together real archival video, fake documentary footage about the making of a fake biopic, and real conversations with the present-day band, PAVEMENTS is delightfully chaotic.”

Sasha Geffen
NPR

“It’s a reminder that the fourth (and fifth and sixth) wall can be smashed, that the rock doc can be reinvented. And that when the message is meta for meta’s sake, why not make the medium that way, too?”

Adam Solomons
IndieWire

“A joyous, slyly subversive celebration that, while unlikely to persuade newcomers to the music, nevertheless catches the band’s wayward spirit, as well as the downright ordinariness that came as an alternative to the bloated rock band ethos.”

Jonathan Romney
