Largely an overview of their extensive career told with archive footage and fans testimonies. Strap in for a slightly bumpy ride ahem. Whilst it's not yer archetypal rock biog (quel surprise) it does reflect their own sensibilities reasonably well imho.
I Am Divine (2013, Jeffrey Schwarz)
A look at Harris Glenn Millstead's life as the "trash" icon who surely needs no introduction. A bittersweet tone sadly hangs over the production, but that is unavoidable ....
This was decent enough. I haven't seen Divine Trash, so cannot compare it. The extras contained further interviews which fleshed out some anecdotes (this being the Peccadilo Pictures release) |
I watched The Sparks Brothers this weekend, having no knowledge of the band at all, although it turns out I do know that ONE song... Loved it, great film making and very interesting subject, I'm also in love with Ron Mael now...
I've seen both of the Divine docs, I can't remember which is which but I did enjoy them both
Need a rewatch soon.
