As I've seen this before, I knew what to expect. To put it bluntly, it shows the "sex and drugs" part of "rock'n'roll" incredibly well because they do have sex, and they take drugs, and they get arrested in the U.S.
It's one hell of a time capsule at this point, a sledgehammer of true indie sleaze to the face of whoever watches this 65-minute documentary.
Although I will say, for a documentary on a '08 music tour by a electronic duo from France, it really doesn't focus on the music at all. They'll be faces in this documentary that you may recognise (no spoilers from me!) and then faces that you won't (probably the French faces who joined Justice on their tour, such as their legendary manager Busy P, and fellow French electro musicians SebastiAn, Kavinsky, and the late DJ Mehdi).
The supporting characters in this documentary (there's no better way to describe them), are absolutely eccentric and well... insane. Especially the tour manager with a worrisome addiction to guns and then the bus driver doing some... peculiar breathing exercises.
Best of all though, is the bizarre, weird, and wonderful behaviours of Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay as the truly excellent French electronic duo Justice, one of my favourite bands of all time.
This whole thing is an absolute fever dream, and I just love it.
