We recently added “Shut up and Play the Hits” to the DBRL collection. The film played at Ragtag in July and currently has a rating of 88% from critics at Rotten Tomatoes. Here’s a synopsis from our catalog:
LCD frontman James Murphy, disbanding one of the most celebrated and influential groups of its generation at the peak of its popularity, ensured that the band would go out on top with the biggest concert of its career. The concert instantly sold out, near four-hour extravaganza featured special appearances by Arcade Fire and Reggie Watts and moved the crowd of thousands to tears of joy and grief.
