Dig!

About This Movie

Dig! is a fascinating dive into the chaotic world of two rock bands, The Brian Jonestown Massacre and The Dandy Warhols, capturing the raw energy and creative tensions that define their journeys. Ondi Timoner really gets into the nitty-gritty, showing not just the highs of the music scene, but the messy struggle for identity and success. The friendship turned rivalry between Anton Newcombe and Courtney Taylor is just as compelling as the music itself, with each dude embodying different paths in the pursuit of rock 'n' roll glory. The pacing feels organic, almost documentary-like, as we watch the bands evolve—or rather, devolve—over time. It's a real snapshot of a moment in indie music history, complete with all its quirks and pitfalls.
