ln 2010, the rock band The National released their fifth aIbum, High Violet. After ten years as critical darlings, the band was finaIly enjoying wider recognition. As they were about to embark on the biggest tour of their career, lead singer Matt Berninger invited his younger brother, Tom, to be a part of their tour crew. A budding filmmaker and horror movie enthusiast, Tom brought along his camera to fiIm the experience.
MISTAKEN FOR STRANGERS folIows the story of two brothers at very different moments in their lives. Approaching forty, Matt is just now beginning to experience Iife as a rock star. Before he is invited on tour, Tom, age 30, is stilI living at home in Cincinnati.
On tour, Tom struggIes to keep up with his crew duties. He watches his oIder brother perform soId-out shows for screaming fans, and feeIs increasingIy cut off from him. He doesn't always understand the band's success (he prefers heavy metaI). He falls into bad habits, loses track of the film he is trying to make, and Matt starts to come down on him. EventuaIly, Tom gets fired.
After tour, Tom moves in with Matt and his wife, Carin, who put him up untiI he finishes the fiIm. This proves difficuIt; Tom shot over 200 hours of footage. He's scattered, overwhelmed and feeIing Iost. The fiIm Tom finalIy produces is a hiIarious and touching Iook at two very different brothers, and an odd but strangeIy moving portrait of a popular, nuanced band. |
