just wanted to also say that this has the best performance of isis documented, the energy is off the rails, paired with the shamanistic hand movements. it's literally like Dylan is possessed by the song is it the other way round?

(ik they're obviously on drugs though)

a total mess of a documentary the whole thing needs to first of all be remastered in HD AT LEAST and stitched up better by an editor who has a brain. the story in this is horrifically bad , some of the perfomances save it but it really is just a massive mess. thanks bob for not learning when you fucked up eat the document too!
