Alice in Chains: AIC 23

About This Movie

So, 'Alice in Chains: AIC 23' is this quirky docu-comedy that dives into the mind of Alan Poole McLard, a Film Studies professor on a rather ambitious quest. He aims to document the legendary grunge band, Alice in Chains, at a time when they're rolling out their album, 'The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here.' What makes it distinctive is that he goes about this without any help from the band themselves, which adds this layer of absurdity and earnestness. The pacing feels a bit loose, mirroring the offbeat tone of the film. There’s a certain charm in watching how he navigates his obsession with the band and the music, wrapped in a blend of humor and genuine passion. Definitely a unique take on the music documentary format.
