Beautiful

Stunning work. This is a beautifully sculpted film about the trials of fame and the downside of the idol worship so commonly perpetuated in Western society at the turn of the millenium. Anyone who has seen the footage of Thom Yorke, almost in tears, being forced to play 'Creep' by screaming American fans. You don't have to be a fan of Radiohead themselves to appreciate this, in fact it might almost be advantageous not to be. This is not a 'rockumentary'. It stands foremost as a very artistically made film with a deep message, created by people who are more than your run-of-the-mill rock stars. Brilliant.
