I Am Trying to Break Your Heart - the Wilco documentary

[sparkchaser]

I caught part of it on MOJO yesterday. Have any of you seen this?

It is a documentary that follows Wilco's struggle as they record their album "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot".



Amazon blurb:

From The New Yorker
The director Sam Jones set out to document the acclaimed rock band Wilco, and his film, which was intended to be a watchin'-the-boys-at-work-in-the-studio lark, turned into something more striking. Over the course of recording the group's current album, the original and brilliant "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot," the singer-songwriter Jeff Tweedy has to deal with two members leaving the band, and his label, Reprise, rejecting the album. The happy, ironic ending does nothing to dilute the movie's air of brooding introspection. Jones's film comes off as a rare portrait of an artistic breakthrough, catching the pressures that can drive a band to perform at the height of its powers. -Bruce Diones

I thought it was really well done and I especially liked the grainy B&W look to it. If you enjoy Wilco's music I recommend it.
