Hmm, just watched it. Here's some thoughts:
It was a good watch. I suppose I don't really feel like the right sort of audience for this.
As they announced in the introduction, the film isn't really about the music itself. It sets out to show differences between the American and European techno scene but in the end it didn't conclude much apart from the first one being small and the other one being big.
They went to a lot of clubs and festivals and the like but unfortunately you never really learn much about them and you only get to see a few slithers of footage.
They never really talk to the people attending and instead focussed too much on the few musicians they decided to follow, probably in an attempt to break stereotypes and show them of as loving, hard working family minded people or some-such.
It was kind of interesting but it went on for a long time. Which is the story of the whole film I suppose, it goes everywhere and you have to wait for the very end for it to finally wrap things up and when it did it still left me a bit unsatisfied.
In the end, it has it's moments but I just don't really feel any wiser now that I've watched it. Which is a shame.
I guess they tried to cover a lot of ground and the only thing they actually went in depth about: The everyday lives of themselves, the artists and how that relates to techno music and culture, wasn't that clarifying to me. I'd like to be able to explain why that is but I think you'll see for yourself what I mean if you haven't already. |
