This is a documentary about The National by French filmmaker Vincent Moon, who followed the group during the creation of their acclaimed 2007 release, "Boxer." It's an insightful and beautiful glimpse into the band's creative process. The DVD is packaged with a separate disc, "The Virginia EP", which contains twelve tracks of demos, a cover, live versions, a radio session, and b-sides. Look for them on tour with REM and Modest Mouse in May. Coachella confirmed.
I am a huge National fan. have met the band, drank with the band, watched the band more times then i can remember and so i say this . . . unless you're a huge fan of this band, do not get this CD/DVD. it's quite mundane and the music is subtle. 3 of the B-sides that are available on this CD are also available on others that you can get form iTunes or Amazon. the other 'unreleased' songs are not quite up to par as compared to the songs from Boxer, but like i said, if you are a huge fan/audiophile, then you will enjoy this package/songs.The DVD is purely a montage of the making of the Boxer album and blurred, artsy snippets of the recording sessions and travel as done by the band while making the album. It is very cool to see how the recording process takes place, but it is fairly predictable. It's kinda like U2's Rattle and Hum, but completely the opposite.If you're a huge National Fan or simply a big fan of lo-fi indie music and/or the making of . . . this will be a great buy.
