Duran Duran - Arena (An Absurd Notion) is an interesting experience, really. It blends live performance and artful visuals, creating this surreal vibe throughout. The pacing is somewhat erratic, shifting from high-energy concert footage to more abstract, almost dream-like sequences. The performances are raw, capturing the band's essence during that era, but with a twist of theatricality. You get to see the glitz and glam of the 80s, yet there's a deeper commentary on fame and identity lurking beneath the surface. The practical effects, especially in transitions, are noteworthy for their time. It’s distinctive, I’d say, for how it captures a moment in musical history while also flirting with the absurd. Definitely something for those who appreciate the intersection of music and avant-garde cinema.
