DO IT AGAIN
US 2010
DIRECTOR: ROBERT PATTON-SPRULL
Some people’s quests are different. Geoff Edgers, a Boston newspaper reporter eyeing the approach of his 40th birthday, decided to take a most improbable leap. He set out to find the still-surviving members of the long dormant British rock band The Kinks ("You Really Got Me," "Lola," and "Come Dancing") to convince them to reunite. Never mind being an American whose only connection to the group is that he grew up loving their music. In a film that morphs from destination into journey, Edgers encounters a range of Kinks fans—Sting, Zooey Deschanel, Peter Buck (R.E.M.), Yoko Ono, Paul Weller, Robyn Hitchcock, and record executive Clive Davis—who help him come to terms with the dreams of his youth and the power of the music.
