SWANS

“That was by far the best music doc I have ever seen. Completely engrossing, beautifully paced and highly entertaining!!!!”

“I’m still recovering seeing Michael Gira on stage years ago, I realized he is a true musician. His focus was on the music and it’s exertion- we were just lucky enough to witness it. I was hoping that the movie would showcase the methodology behind that energy and it did not disappoint. It was just as I thought it should be- melancholy, hopeful and brutally honest... just like the art itself. Countless times throughout the years, I have found unparalleled solace in his music. I have actually said, “I find the swans when I lose myself.” The film is something everyone should see. It spotlights an imperfect man wildly driving himself to be true to his vision of art; how fortunate some of us are to have found it.”

“I will never forget the euphoria I experienced seeing Swans perform live. There was a moment of instinctual surrender, and I allowed my mind, body, and spirit to flow with the sound. I felt myself slowly peeling open, and a missing piece of myself was found that night. I did not know what to expect when I learned a Swans documentary was being made. I was skeptical that a film could accurately portray the feeling that Swans encompasses. I have to say, the movie was beautifully done and depicted the history, methodology, and influence of the band with a befitting flow. I appreciated that the film showcased human imperfection and the power of propulsive vision. It is brutally honest and absolutely captivating from beginning to end.”
