Pavements Documentary Movie Trailer HD - Plot synopsis: Pavements is a movie about Pavement the band—among other things.

The latest film from acclaimed director Alex Ross Perry (Her Smell) is a documentary that may or may not be entirely true, may or may not be totally sincere, and may or may not be more about the idea of the band—or any band—than a history of the short-lived, passionately loved, commercially marginal Nineties American alternative group Pavement.

This unconventional film about a highly unconventional band incorporates a stage musical, rock biopic, gallery exhibition, archival footage, and contemporary observational footage to create a film as irreducible, uncharacterizable, and entertaining as the band and its music.

Anchored by Pavement’s slacker-sage-sphinx, Stephen Malkmus, the film features performances by Joe Keery, Jason Schwartzman, Tim Heidecker, Kathryn Gallagher, Michael Esper and Zoe Lister-Jones, and editing by nonfiction innovator Robert Greene (Procession).

"A reminder that the fourth (and fifth and sixth) wall can be smashed, that the rock doc can be reinvented.

And that when the message is meta for meta’s sake, why not make the medium that way, too?" - Indiewire "In an age of musical biopic plenty, this semi-ironic, postmodern take — which runs through Perry's part drama, part documentary, and part mockumentary — may be just what the doctor ordered." - Mashable "Captures the artistry, ingenuity and humor of its subject better than an encyclopedic history ever could" - Little White Lies "Pavements is perfectly Pavement-y." - Exclaim!

"It’s impossible not to be won over" - Variety Release date: NYC 5/2, LA 5/9 and Nationwide 6/6.
