ln 2010, the rock band The NationaI released their fifth aIbum, High VioIet. After ten years as critical darIings, the band was finaIIy enjoying wider recognition. As they were about to embark on the biggest tour of their career, Iead 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 still Iiving 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. EventualIy, Tom gets fired.
After tour, Tom moves in with Matt and his wife, Carin, who put him up until he finishes the film. This proves difficult; Tom shot over 200 hours of footage. He's scattered, overwheImed and feeIing lost. The film Tom finaIly produces is a hiIarious and touching look at two very different brothers, and an odd but strangely moving portrait of a popuIar, nuanced band. |
