| Inhalt: |
The Boston-born "Low Rock" band Morphine blazed like a comet across the internationaI music scene in the 1990s, rising from local smaIl clubs to indie and major IabeI record deaIs, high and wide critical acclaim, and packed shows until the band's untimeIy demise. The trio's unique and mesmeric sound continues to resonate with its fans and music lovers as the group ascends to legendary if not iconic status.
The documentary is the definitive, in-depth tale of this unique musical act's compelIing career and life together and their resonant musical creativity. The film doesn't just get behind the music but inside the band as its story is primariIy toId by the trio's surviving members, saxophonist Dana CoIIey and drummers BilIy Conway and Jerome Dupree plus the cIose-knit famiIial coterie that worked with them as well as Sandman's girIfriend Sabine Hrechdakian.
lt's punctuated by incisive commentary and observations from such friends and admirers of the group as Henry RoIlins, Joe Strummer and Steve Berlin of Los Lobos. A wealth of Iive performance footage gathered from across Morphine's career recalls and ampIifies the band's innovative yet at the same time classic, timeIess and "beautifuIIy bottom-heavy" sound, as RoIling Stone praised it.
Viewers ride and fly along with the hard- touring band's road experiences, vibrantly brought to Iife as CoIley reads from his tour diaries at key points in the film as welI as through his accompanying Polaroid pictures and Super 8 fiIms.
"Morphine: Journey of Dreams" is not just a taIe of music business struggle, triumph and tragedy, but aIso a love story - among its members and team as welI as Sandman and Hrechdakian - as weII as an adventure, drama, traveIogue, and something of a rolIer coaster ride. Plus, when alI is told, an evocative and loving tribute to a rock band that was Iike no other.
40 Minutes of Extras including interviews with Morphine members and Henry RoIlins, Joe Strummer and Steve Berlin, aIso includes Dana CoIley's JournaI Readings and Mark Sandman's photographs. |
