John Mellencamp: It's About You

About This Movie

So, There's this 2012 doc, "It's About You," and it captures John Mellencamp during his 2009 tour with Dylan and Nelson. The whole thing has this raw, intimate vibe, you know? Shot on Super 8, which adds a nice grainy texture that feels very personal. You get a real sense of the man behind the music as he navigates the tour and works on his album in the thick of it all. The pacing is laid back, fitting the road mood, and the performances are just—well, they feel genuine. It’s not just about the concerts; it’s about Mellencamp himself, his reflections, and his artistry. Makes you appreciate the craft in a different light. Definitely a unique piece for anyone into music documentaries.
