Color Me Obsessed: A Film About the Replacements
Newly Added
•
2h 3m
Directed by Gorman Bechard • 2011 • United States
The Minneapolis quartet that combined an emotionally charged, adolescent romanticism with impeccable, hook-laden songcraft, the Replacements were a rock band unlike any other. So it’s fitting that this engaging tribute should be a music documentary unlike any other. Forgoing archival and concert footage, interviews with the band, and their music, COLOR ME OBSESSED instead tells the glorious, chaotic story of the ’Mats through the testimonies of the longtime listeners who revere them. From their punk beginnings to their infamously unruly, alcohol-fueled live shows to the stories behind some of their most beloved songs, the band comes into colorful focus thanks to the fans—including members of Hüsker Dü, Babes in Toyland, the Hold Steady, Archers of Loaf, and Titus Andronicus—for whom the Replacements embody the best of rock ’n’ roll.
