Color Me Obsessed, teaser #1
Are you a believer? Are you one of the people who knows? Well you can trust that after watching Color Me Obsessed you will join the ranks of the privileged few.
With COLOR ME OBSESSED, the first documentary on the influential 80s indie rock band, The Replacements, director Gorman Bechard brings an extraordinary vision to a unique filmmaking challenge. “I wanted to give The Replacements ‘god-like’ treatment,” he explains, “but I didn’t want to make a VH-1 ‘Where Are They Now?’ style documentary. “ Combining the mystique of the band with the passion of their fans, Bechard made a music documentary with no music and not one single image of the band. “People believe in god without ever seeing or hearing him or her,” the director says. “I’m going to make viewers believe in The Replacements in much the same way.”
From rock stars Colin Meloy (the Decemberists) and John Rzeznik (Goo Goo Dolls) to music journalists Robert Christgau and Legs McNeil, COLOR ME OBSESSED features over 135 interviews with true-believers. From names youÂ’ll recognize (Tom Arnold, George Wendt, Dave Foley and Tommy Ramone) to everyday fans, COLOR ME OBSESSED presents the potentially true story of The Replacements, AmericaÂ’s last best band, the most influential band you've probably never heard of. And despite containing not one note of music, itÂ’s a doc that really rocks.
