Throughout the film, each band strives to remain unique and uncontrolled by the norm. Both bands start out playing small venues and struggling to make it in the recording industry. Most of what you see is of the bands on tour. I also loved how the "story" of these bands was told. I think that is part of what makes this doc so good, and what makes Ondi Timoner such a master documentarian. I quickly became grooved to the lives both Anton and Courtney as well as their respective bands, The Brian Jonestown Massacre and The Dandy Warhols. The director (Ondi Timoner) wastes no time in engaging the audience and familiarizing them with the people in this film. That being said, this is my perspective on the doc: One thing I found incredible about this film is there is no need to have any prior knowledge of either of these bands. I knew very little about either of these bands, but I do remember hearing "Not If You Were The Last Junkie On Earth" by The Dandy Warhols ages ago and enjoying it.
I recently rented this doc, having remembered hearing about it from and being intrigued by the premise.
