The article discusses the upcoming documentary 'Pavements' directed by Alex Ross Perry, focusing on the beloved 90s indie-rock band Pavement. Set against a backdrop of the band's recent reunion tour, the film interlaces snippets of archival footage, a museum exhibit celebrating the band's history, and a fictional biopic starring familiar actors. Perry's aim is to present a non-traditional narrative, steering clear of conventional rock documentaries and exploring the band's legacy in creative ways, capturing the band's essence and cultural impact.
"Pavements covers, clockwise from top left, the band's reunion tour, a museum of its memorabilia, a made-up Hollywood biopic and a jukebox musical, sometimes presented in split screen."
"I was told, They want nothing traditional,' Perry said in a video interview last month, adding that the group's frontman, Stephen Malkmus, texted him, Avoid the legacy trap."
