Movie Reviews of Luna - Tell Me Do You Miss MeMovie Review: 4.5 stars... excellent addition to the Luna legacy Summary: 4 StarsIn 2007, Dean Wareham released an absolute excellent memoir of his days in the rock world ("Black Postcards"), mostly about his days in Luna, the NY indie-rock band that made great music from 1992 to 2005, but somehow staying under the radar of the mainstream music. It's one of the best books ever written about indie-music.
"Tell Me Do You Miss Me" (145 min.) chronicles the last tour of Luna, before they disbanded in 2005. It's an equally fascinating document that the Wareham book is. The DVD chronicles the last 6 months of the band, as it toured behind the 2004 "Rendezvous" album, and announced before the tour that this would be it. There is a lot of underlying melancholy in the movie, as the band knows that "this is it", in particular as the band revisits all of the cities in Europe, Japan and the US that it has visited before. But more than anything else that stands out is that these guys were indeed just getting by, money was always an issue/a problem. They are not superstars, yet at the same time they express their gratitude over and over that at least they can make it (even if barely). The band members open up in the various interviews and it is quite the treat. If you are a fan of Luna, or indie-rock for that matter, this is not to be missed. The proper movie is quite easy to the eyes and ears, and thankfully not edited MTV-style where the angle changes every second.
As to the extras, there are 4 concert songs added in their entirety, and a number of movie deleted scenes that are non-essential (and reason they didn't make it in the movie). No matter, this is an outstanding addition to the legacy of Luna. We miss ya, Luna! Dean and Britta have since then of course go on and have made several albums that are worth checking out as well. Meanwhile, this DVD is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Summary of Luna - Tell Me Do You Miss MeIn Tell Me Do You Miss Me, the four members of the celebrated New York-based indie-rock band Luna confront the ceiling of their ambition, the harsh realities of their modest success, and their conflicted feelings about each other as they embark on their final world tour and uncertain futures. Laced with moments of both humor and melancholia, Tell Me Do You Miss Me earnestly exposes the underbelly of a touring rock band in their final days together. Supported sonically with Luna?s dreamy catalog of indie-pop and visually with lush travelogue footage?with adventurous stops in England, Japan, and Spain?Tell Me Do You Miss Me is an elegy for an era.
