Take all your memories of famous rock music documentaries, and then throw them all out, because Todd Haynes does not have a checklist that needs to be ticked off.
No talking heads here, no stories about "from zero to hero" but an avant-garde approach to an avant-garde rock group.
They way he uses a mix of footage, photography and audio to create an interesting natrrative is refreshing and innovative. You can sense that Andy Warhol is a big inspiration, both on the Velvet Underground and on this Rockumentary. If you are familiar with Andy Warhol's movies. You probably know what I'm talking about.
I thorougly enjoyed it, and hope you will give it a try as well. It can be found on AppleTV+
