영화 정보

In 2010, rock band The National were about to embark on the biggest tour of their career. After ten years as a band, and five critically acclaimed albums, they were finally enjoying wider recognition. Lead singer Matt Berninger invited his younger brother, Tom to join them as a roadie, but Tom has other ideas and his camera comes along for the ride. As he tries to capture the behind-the-scenes action, he winds up the band by poking the camera where it's not wanted, learns that they aren't as rock-and-roll as he want them to be and generally fails in his tour duties. Tom's camera captures his journey as he finds himself living in Matt's shadow and acting out in a way only a little brother can - drinking, complaining, and struggling to balance his ambition with his responsibilities. An amazingly intimate and spirited film, Mistaken For Strangers delves into the joys and struggles of brotherhood. - 2013 American Mary Productions, LLC, Dogwoof.

평가 및 리뷰

I'm a huge fan of The National and after reading a host of rave reviews for this film I was looking forward to watching it. Sadly it left me disappointed. I didn't find it funny, and as a fan of the band there's also not as much of their music as I'd hoped. It's a short film and kept me occupied for just over an hour, but I doubt I'd watch it again.

Honest. Funny. Heart warming.

Amazing documentary
