What have we, what have we, what have we done to deserve this? This week, Pet Shop Boys are infiltrating more than 1,400 theaters across 50 countries worldwide, with Trafalgar Releasing giving the beloved British duo two-night-only event screenings — on Wednesday, Jan. 31 and Sunday, Feb. 4 — of their new concert film “Pet Shop Boys Dreamworld: The Hits Live.”
From White Light Film Productions, the documentary brings Pet Shop Boys’ ongoing global tour to fans far and wide, offering a comprehensive rendering of the duo’s performance at the Royal Arena in Copenhagen. Helmed by director David Barnard, a four-time filmmaking collaborator with Pet Shop Boys, “Dreamworld” is yet another visually dazzling, highly theatrical cinematic experience from vocalist Neil Tennant and keyboardist Chris Lowe, featuring costume changes, an elaborate set and throbbing, trippy visuals.
“It’s a great crowd in Copenhagen!” supervising producer Andrew Winter tells Variety on selecting where on the tour to film.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds have made their 2018 concert film, Distant Sky — Live in Copenhagen, available for free in its entirety on YouTube.

It was in this manner that 2016’s touching, elegiac One More Time with Feeling reverberated. In that instance, what began life as a straightforward documentary primarily aimed at charting the recording process of what would become their latest record (Skeleton Tree, also released in 2016) ended up as a visual parchment of pain and loss that far outstretched and transcended the original Mo. If the experience acted as any sort of therapy for the grieving family remains unclear,...
