Hung Up on a Dream: The Zombies Documentary

I'm a big music fan, and when I was younger, I had formal piano lessons and was exposed to different genres of music-I'd listen to anything from Mozart to The Zombies. Though I only knew a few songs of the band, those songs I really loved. I was happy when I learned this music doc was screening in my city, and though it screened a bit of a later time than I'm used to normally when I watch movies at the cinemas, this one kept me glued to the big screen from start to finish. It's such an amazing story of an uber-talented band who really deserved more than they got, and their fascinating story was told magnificently through this doc directed by Robert Schwartzman, who turns out is a big fan of the band. He was the perfect choice for this project, given his background in music and film (though to this day he is still best known as Michael Moscovitz in "The Princess Diaries.") You could tell Robert truly put his passion for storytelling and musical expertise to put together this doc, and I think there should be an unwritten rule that music docs should be handled by artists who actually has a music career of their own. Hope it serves as an inspiration to aspiring bands out there.

This is a documentary of my favorite English rock band it tells you how they become friends how they formed in 1961 outside a pub How Rod asks Hugh to become the drummer for his new band how they recorded Odessey and Oracle how the Zombies disbanded in 1968 Paul joined the A&R records Hugh became a horse back rider Colin joined banking Rod formed Argent Chris co produced with Rod Hugh joined Paul later on later on The Zombies got inducted into The Rock and Roll hall of fame in 2019 to this day The Zombies are still touring today the documentary is released at 5:30 Pm in Austin Texas can't wait.

The brilliant new Zombies documentary "Hung Up On A Dream" isn't your garden-variety music doc, but a story of survival and lasting friendship, seasoned with exceptional talents, a dash of serendipity, and more than one bizarre twist and turn. Director Robert Schwartzman's sensitivity to his subject(s) -- their musical brilliance as well as their always-evident humanity -- and sincere appreciation of their journey as a band and as individuals shines through every frame. The film features wonderful vintage vignettes and poignant personal stories, while relating the long and occasionally cautionary tale of 5 extraordinarily talented guys whose time of any season should have been much more celebrated from the start. I only wish it had been longer! Zombies fan or just general music lover, please go see it while you can!

My friends and I finally had the chance to see the Zombies band's documentary "Hung Up On A Dream" directed by Robert Schwartzman. And it was well worth the wait, I was mesmerized by so much information about the history of the bands rock 'n' roll journey in the tough world of rock music. The director Schwartzman actually synthesize 60+ years of the band's life into a delightful rockudocumentary. I had tears in my eyes for a few of the scenes, things I would never have known about the band but it explains why their music is so memorable and so dynamite. I'm going to see it again, just in case I missed something important.

I could have sat there for hours longer enjoying more of director Robert Schwartzman's heartfelt documentary about The Zombies.

The documentary goes deep as The Zombies' tell their story in their own words, illustrated with previously unseen photos and clips. There are plenty of poignant moments, including their observations when they return to Abbey Road where they recorded their masterwork Odessey and Oracle during the summer of love and wonder, in time present, what would have happened had they been starving artists for just a bit longer.

Hung Up On A Dream is a warm, entertaining, informative movie (not only for fans of the band but connoisseurs of the British Invasion) by the end of which you will have fallen in love, or even more in love, with The Zombies.
