An intimate, authentically raw portrait of indie legends the Pixies captures their trying, tense, and ultimately triumphant return as one of rock music’s greatest bands. A decade after their turbulent breakup in 1993, the band’s members—Black Francis, Kim Deal, Joey Santiago, and David Lovering—convene for a series of rehearsals and warm-up shows in preparation for a sold-out reunion tour. In the cinema verité style of the classic Rolling Stones documentary GIMME SHELTER, LOUDQUIETLOUD: A FILM ABOUT THE PIXIES captures the less-than-glamorous, behind-the-scenes side of the touring lifestyle, bringing viewers as close to this enigmatic act as anyone is ever likely to get.
