While we wait for his new album, singer-songwriter Thierry Larose—a regular audience member at the Cinémathèque québécoise—shares a few films that have left a lasting impression on him as a cinephile and are deeply connected to his musical culture.
In the presence of Thierry Larose
Dig! is Ondi Timoner's genre-topping "rockumentary" about two Gen-X bands and their journey to alt-rock glory. Shot over nearly a decade, Dig! explores the collision of art and commerce through the star-crossed friendship and bitter rivalry of dueling 90s bands The Dandy Warhols and The Brian Jonestown Massacre. Through their loves and obsessions, gigs, arrests and death threats, uppers and downers, and ultimately to their shot at mainstream success, they stage a self-proclaimed revolution in the music industry.
