Product: Songs for Cassavetes [VHS]
Rating: 5.0
a great start...!
i was really excited to have finally seen this dvd. i had heard about the film for a while, and it was definately worth the wait. "songs for cassavetes" is a good film to start with if you have any real interest in indie music, or even those (like myself) who have loved this music for a while. the film is shot in beautiful black and white and i liked the sound of the live performances. it gives the sound of the bands as they are live, full, loud, and raw. the real treat for me was seeing the henry's dress segment (who should have been more popular in my opinion) and the interviews with molly neuman of the always rockin, bratmobile. being a musician myself, it was inspiring to see these bands and know that they were doing what they wanted and how they wanted to do it.
