Music For Adults: A Film About A Band Called Oxbow

2003 · 55 min · Music · Documentary

A film that no one will care about, about a band no one cares about, for an experience that everyone will care about.

Like those famed tornado chasers, filmmaker Christian Anthony pursued art rock heavies OXBOW through five countries, two fistfights and a treasure trove of shows to come back with a document that is all at once profane, dangerous, funny, rage-inducing, and finally the most succinct take on artistic obscurity that has graced a screen in recent memory. Like the anit-Pennebaker, Anthony scores with a film that no one will care about, about a band no one cares about, for an experience that everyone will care about.
