People In A Film takes you through the eclectic journey of Wire, capturing their evolution as a band in the post-punk scene. The vibe is gritty, almost raw, reflecting the band's experimental ethos. Malcolm Boyle's direction gives it an intimate feel, mixing live performances with candid moments that really show the essence of the band. The pacing is a bit uneven, but that kind of matches the band's own unpredictable style. Themes of innovation and artistic struggle come through, and the practical effects are minimal yet effective in conveying the band's atmosphere. It's not just a straightforward documentary; it becomes a piece of art in its own right, much like Wire's music. Definitely a unique watch if you're into deep dives on lesser-known musical icons.
