Dig! is a documentary film directed by Ondi Timoner, and produced by Timoner, Vasco Nunes and David Timoner. Compiled from seven years of footage, it contrasts the developing careers and love–hate relationship of the bands The Dandy Warhols and The Brian Jonestown Massacre and the bands' respective frontmen Courtney Taylor-Taylor and Anton Newcombe. It won the Documentary Grand Jury Prize at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival.
Synopsis
Le portrait croisé, filmé sur sept ans, de deux groupes de pop psychédélique aux destins divergents : The Dandy Warhols et The Brian Jonestown Massacre. Proches au début, les deux groupes deviennent peu à peu rivaux, les premiers obtiennent le succès et les seconds passent leur temps à saboter leur carrière. En revanche, si c'est le leader des Dandy Warhols qui se prête au jeu, comme narrateur en voix off, c'est plutôt le groupe d'Anton Newcombe, leader charismatique et cyclothymique du B.J.M, qui est valorisé dans le film, à la fois pour son incroyable productivité (en 1996 le groupe sort trois albums autoproduits) et pour ses frasques à répétition - violentes bagarres sur scènes, conflits d'ego à répétition, problèmes de drogue...Actors
