Pavements

Fuck Rolling Stones, we got something better!

If you’re expecting only a straightforward nostalgia trip about Pavement, you will get something so much better. Alex Ross Perry’s Pavements is a layered, inventive documentary that blends archival footage, scripted scenes, live performances and even a musical theater adaptation drawn from the band’s extensive catalog. The result is a tribute to Pavement’s creativity, humor and signature irony that made them a cult favorite.

The film transports viewers to the band’s 1990s heyday while also following their 2022 reunion tour, capturing the lo-fi indie energy, imperfections and idealism that define Pavement. The documentary isn’t just a documentary about one of indie rock’s most significant bands – it’s an ambitious, humorous and lovingly crafted exploration of myths and the way they are made.
