Retro Reels: The '90s: Pavements + Introduction Theo Ploeg
T/m 5 November
A film as whimsical and ingenious as the band itself, Pavements explores the myth, music and magic of Pavement in true Nineties style.
The screening of Pavements is part of Retro Reels: The '90s, a film series contextualising iconic films from the 1990s. Sociologist and journalist Theo Ploeg will provide a short introduction.
Pavement
Whimsical, rattling, lo-fi, nonchalant, playful, sarcastic and intellectual are some of the adjectives the music press used to describe the rock group Pavement. With Pavements, director Alex Ross Perry delivers a blend of feature film and documentary that perfectly suits such an unusual band. The plural is not a typo, as Perry looks at the band in different ways. He turns up archive footage, follows the band as they prepare for their reunion, has Broadway stars audition for a jukebox musical featuring the band's songs, but also works with Hollywood actors on a parody of a classic rock biopic. And then there is footage of a pop-up exhibition about the band, in which fake and real are also already happily hanging side by side on the wall. Throw all these elements into a blender and the result is a film that is already as quirky and genius as the portrayed band itself.
