Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaEach of the fan's stories includes a Depeche Mode motif from a previous band project: riding a horse and flinging open doors (Indra Amarjargal's segment, mirroring shots in Depeche Mode: Personal Jesus (1989)); underneath the Berlin U-Bahn (Daniel Cassus runs along roughly the same route as seen in Depeche Mode: Everything Counts (1983)); in a car at night in Los Angeles (Elizabeth Dwyer sings "A Pain That I'm Used To" and "But Not Tonight," in a shot similar to much of the video for Depeche Mode: Wrong (2009), shot in downtown LA); "the king" (much of Cristian Flueraru's segment is dedicated to his photography replicating shots from Depeche Mode: Enjoy the Silence (1990)); riding a Vespa (Carine Puzenat's segment, mirroring shots in Depeche Mode: Strangelove (1987)); and bumper cars (Dicken Schrader, Milah Schrader, and Korben Schrader ride these in a brief scene, just as the band does in the video for Depeche Mode: Get the Balance Right! (1983)).
Featured review
Growing up with this band and basically living and breathing them as well as seeing them on many occasions on stage, behind the stage as well as touring after them to many different locations, meeting different cultures, the creativity of people and the whole cult around this band was something the movie just scratched at the surface.
Unfortunately is the connection between the band (btw only seen on stage throughout the movie) - and fans very much disjointed in this movie. A meet and great, behind the scenes , maybe?
Is it really necessary to tell us a fans live story. Where is the connection to the band? Am I really interested as a DM fan?
Yes there have been a couple of short very good examples, worth mentioning the "Romanian king" or the Colombian DMK story, Not enough though. Where are the crazy collectors, the 'look a likes'., the fan stories that still create goosebumps due their similarities to your own...?
And that's what this movie should have been all about.
