It's the experience of the most famous orchestras - Spandau Ballet of 80s. Things seem to be moving on a different path when the public gets answers to a question such as: they are building a world music empire, and what challenges do they face in order to achieve fame.
This slapdash but endearing doc about the rise, fall and resurrection of '80s pop outfit Spandau Ballet is an inside job, packed with strong archive footage yet lacking anything you'd call truly incisive.
An absorbing and insightful delve into how the band defined the post-punk -- and consciously flamboyant UK -- music scene and went on to be an international phenomenon.
It helps to be a Spandau fan, of course, but the smart, layered contextualizing and historicizing of the group within the film makes it a gift for any pop-culture aficionado.
