This Search For Meaning (BD+DVD+2CD)

Fra produktomtalen:

A film of ‘This Search For Meaning’ documentary, including ‘Never Let Me Go’ CD including the bonus track, ‘Shout’ (Tears For Fears cover). An intimate exploration of Placebo's evolution, charting their journey through lyrics and songs that delve into the human experience.

This is Placebo’s second feature-length documentary. This intimate and enlightening film explores the ideas that inhabit the lyrics and subject matter of Placebo’s songs, whilst charting their evolution as a group and as human beings. It is a fearless, truthful and forthright exploration of the creative process and the rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle, along with its inevitable consequences.

Rather than present a conventional origin story, Scottish award-winning filmmaker Oscar Sansom, known for his trailblazing work in music films, charts the band’s ongoing impact and legacy through a visual meditation on contemporary themes such as surveillance, culture and scrutiny, sexuality and gender identity, addiction and trauma as well as the climate crisis. These significant and weighty themes are explored in both an informal and personally authored manner through brand new interviews with Brian and Stefan. Both reflective and revealing, these interviews also underline placebo’s ongoing socio-cultural curiosity and musical journey – a quest that continues in their chart-topping albums and sold-out live arena performances worldwide today.
