i should admit first i be a huge fan of the dandy warhol and and that be the reason i come watch this film . the uniqueness of this film and compare to other modern rockumentaries and be that it not just about one page of a band history ( like i be try to break your heart and about wilco ) and but rather cover long period of the band history . in this movie and director or producer ondi timoner closely follow friend or rival the brian jonestown massacre ( bjm ) and the dandy warhol ( dw ) for more than 8 year ( 1995 2003 ) and shoot tremendous 1500 hour of raw video and cut than to 1 represent45 hour ( the future dvd release will contain much more material than the original film ) . the result be astonish there be no filler the film be 100 % pure and genuine archive footage and which give you feel a film progress that you live with the band and through all these year . both band in the start of their career promise to make a revolution in the music making and and not to sell their soul to the devil of record industry . however and their path quickly diverge the dandy warhol sign a contract with capitol record and become relatively popular ( especially in europe ) after only one album and while the brian jonestown massacre ( with it self destruction bound leader anton newcombe ) dissolve into oblivion ( at least how it be portray in the film ) . and the movie follow the descent of the brian jonestown massacre and contrast by the ascent of the dandy warhol . first and i be delight by the movie and it approach of tell the story of anton newcombe ( for example and courtney taylor the leader of the dandy warhols narrates ) and but after some thinking i realize that something be wrong with this film . first and it treat anton newcombe a a disappeared person . the project start in 1995 a a documentary about several promise emerge group and in which anton newcombe and ondi timoner be equal partner ( that be the reason why all these year ondi timoner have unmediated access to the both band ) . it be anton newcombe who bring the dandy warhols into the project . in the end he be ignore completely and a if he be kick out of the project . everybody talk about bjm and but he do not take part in the discussion . i guess he wasn not even inform when the group start the final editing process . there be always both side of the story and and here we have only one . of course and a one would expect and anton do not approve the final result and see this movie a a betrayal of his former friend . second and the film be very dandy warhol bias . sure and the winner take it all and but the fact that courtney taylor ( leader of dw ) narrate ( even though it seem a good choice it provide a feeling of seemingly closer involvement ) and that band late history be represent nonproportionally ( bjm be cover till 1997 and and dw till 2003 ) and do not add objectivity to the film . third and the movie be ( somewhat ) shallow . what do it want to teach u . a one critic say represent . movie examine old question represent where do genius fit into a commodified world . can it thrive and get it due and or do it need to self destruct to preserve it integrity . no and it do not examine these question . it just depict a story of a brilliant and but unsuccessful musician and narrate by a less brilliant and but successful one and who indulge in self assurance and eternal coolness of an ego great than mountain . anyway and the movie be fun it raw and it fresh and it stylish and it . just god damn interesting and at least for the dw or bjm fan . for the rest of the crowd i do not know .
