Color Me Obsessed: A Film About the Replacements
| Event: |
Color Me Obsessed: A Film About the Replacements The first documentary about one of the defining indie-rock bands of the 1980s, Color Me Obsessed is a novel take on the now-clichd rock documentary format. The band (including the interview-shy Paul Westerberg) never appears in the film. Instead their booze-fueled story is told exclusively through the tales of fans (famous and unknown), friends, and contemporaries. Full of passionate, obsessive, and sometimes conflicting Rashomon-like perspectives, the filmÕs approach might be an ideal way to tell the story of a group whose achievements were overshadowed by their untapped potential and raucous lifestyles. Those who do appear include musicians from the Hold Steady, the Decemberists, and Hsker D (the ReplacementsÕ Minneapolis contemporaries), journalists Robert Christgau and Ira Robbins, and comedian Dave Foley and actor George Wendt, who are both fans.
