SONIC YOUTH: SLEEPING NIGHTS AWAKE
A film by Michael Albright and Projeto Moonshine, USA, 2007, 85 min.
Original version with Portuguese subtitles.
It is summer in the USA; they are young high-school students in Reno, Nevada. They carry cameras to record the show and a day in the life of Sonic Youth. The young people are part of Moonshine Project, and are willing to show their own perspective in black and white. Behind-the-scenes and rare statements by Kim Gordon, Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo, and much music (including: “Tom Violence”, “Shaking Hell”, “Mote”, “Incinerate” and “Kool Thing”). The result is a renewed, youthful documentary, an intimate and spontaneous way of looking closely at one of the most influential bands for the new generation.
