SHUT UP AND PLAY THE HITS Trailer

http://www.shutupandplaythehits.com/

On April 2nd 2011, LCD Soundsystem played its final show at Madison Square Garden. LCD frontman James Murphy had made the conscious decision to disband one of the most celebrated and influential bands of its generation at the peak of its popularity, ensuring that the band would go out on top with the biggest and most ambitious concert of its career. The instantly sold out, near four-hour extravaganza did just that, moving the thousands in attendance to tears of joy and grief, with NEW YORK magazine calling the event "a marvel of pure craft" and TIME magazine lamenting "we may never dance again." SHUT UP AND PLAY THE HITS is both a narrative film documenting this once in a life time performance and an intimate portrait of James Murphy as he navigates the lead-up to the show, the day after, and the personal and professional ramifications of his decision.

Directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace

The film could just be James Murphy walking his dog for 2 hours and I bet it'd still be fucking brilliant.

Watched it last night at Hot Docs and it is brilliant! Even for me, who did not know LCD Soundsystem so well, it leaves you with a sense of euphoria for the concert and sadness for the end of the band. I will see it again when it's released and, according to the directors who were there at the screening, a full concert version of the film (+soundtrack) will be released as well!

Saw this doc last night in Toronto. it was excellent - great song selections from the final show, an insight into his motivations for starting and leaving the band and his desire to leave the public eye. If I hadn't seen them play live for the final tour, after watching the doc, I would have been pretty pissed off that I had missed it!

Love that amazing shot! Reggie is so full of life, it's inspiring! His smile makes all of life beautiful.

This was one of the best nights of my life. When I watch this trailer I get choked up and can't stop smiling both at once.
