This Is a Film About The Black Keys at MIFF
Ohio-born bluesy rockers The Black Keys get candid and introspective in this warts-and-all documentary direct from SXSW.
It’s surprisingly prescient that Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney titled The Black Keys’ commercial breakthrough record Brothers – as this documentary reveals, the two are more like siblings than many blood relatives. Traversing the bickering, a distinctly brotherly inability to communicate, the Justin Bieber incident (if you know you know) and so much more, Jeff Dupre’s film takes viewers on an all-access tour of the band’s trajectory, from their humble beginnings in Akron, Ohio, to the Grammy-winning rockstars who have remained independent in spirit and beloved by masses.
Fans and newcomers alike will enjoy front-row seats to the ups and downs – both professional and personal – of the iconic duo, who have just released their 12th studio album, Ohio Players. Built around extensive archival concert and studio footage, lively re-enactments, and revealing interviews (including with Gen X icon Beck), this film will scratch the musical itch for enthusiasts of rock docs like Mistaken for Strangers (MIFF 2013) and Meet Me in the Bathroom (MIFF 2022).
