The Stone Roses: Made of Stone

As a big fan, Shane Meadows retraces the comeback of Manchester rock band The Stone Roses in 2011 (he reveals in the documentary that if he couldn’t direct it himself, he would commit suicide). However, he certainly doesn’t embellish anything and his documentary is perfectly objective – he shows us the band sometimes under a very harsh light (messed up concert in Amsterdam). At the same time, he builds an atmosphere of uncertainty for the neophyte, who doesn’t know until the last moment if this documentary is about the successful rebirth of The Stone Roses or, on the contrary, about their repeated disintegration. A must see for all TSR fans. [KVIFF 2013] (2018.09.22)
