Year of the Horse - (Jim Jarmusch;1997;USA)
Neil Young and Crazy Horse play their 1996 tour with clips from old interviews/footage and new ones by Jarmusch.
Judging by the negative reaction to this, I have to say it's pretty underrated. I was glued to this the entire time, and at the end, I wanted more. The interviews aren't the most informative ever, but you'll enjoy them if you enjoy the band and Neil Young. Rather then making you feel like you're being educated, the film makes you feel like you're with them, hanging out backstage. The music is haunting, especially the last performance before the credits, and Jarmusch's off-beat direction amplifies that haunting mood further. Some may not like the 8mm footage, though I don't have a problem with it. It was also interesting seeing Young's father interviewed.
