Description
[Machine Translation] "The sound, it was too huge. " A Dinosaur Jr. documentary of decay and rebirth communicated only through music. The first documentary film about Dinosaur Jr. The film is an official film produced by the band itself, and focuses on the relationship between the three original members, J. Maskis (G./Vo.), Lou Barlow (B.), and Murph (D.), along with rare footage from the band's past. (The band's official film, produced by the band itself, focuses on J. Maskis, who says, "I really wanted a Stratocaster, but I didn't have the money, so I had to buy a Jazzmaster. Dinosaur Jr.'s ferocious roar was pioneered by Sonic Youth before the grunge movement of Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, etc. broke out, and their second album was released on SST Records, a label run by Greg Ginn (Black Flag), who is regarded as the fuhrer of US hardcore. The band's unique and unique vocals, which were not unlike those of Neil Young or Nick Cave, were extremely unnerving and gained a huge following in the underground world of Europe and the U.S. However, an incident during a tour led to the release of their second album on SST Records, operated by Greg Ginn (Black Flag), the supreme authority in the U.S. hardcore world. However, the relationship between the three fell apart after an incident during a tour. Lou and Murph left the band one after another, and Dinosaur Jr. welcomed new members and continued their activities, with J. Maskis taking on a more solo role. Dinosaur Jr.'s music was not about trying to sell or get other people to listen to it, and Lou Barlow ("We never thought about how many people would show up or how many people would listen to us. We were doing the show to attack the audience. In contrast to the rock-star bands that glitz and glamour to gain popularity, the three of them have no interest in anything other than music, and their only communication is through music. Philip Rockenheim, who is in-laws with J. Maskis, has brought out the honest testimonies of each of the three original members, who were united only by their music, and has compiled a loving perspective that does not permit showy performances, up to the present reunion after 2005. The Berlin-based director, who has directed more than 100 music videos to date, has been active in the world of music videos for many years, and his work has been used in Jim Jarmusch's "Gimme Danger" ( 2016 ). The film's history and the way he captures the band's current incarnation as well as their rebirth recalls the film "Pixies: Loud Quiet Loud" ( 2006 ), and his gentle gaze as he approaches his subjects recalls the film "Minute Men: We Jam Econo" ( 2005 ). The film is a tight, careful, and sincere portrayal of Dinosaur Jr.'s feelings, appearance, and music over a period of 30 years, which also reflects the nature of human growth and friendship.

ダイナソーJr./フリークシーン / 洋画
"音が、巨大すぎた。" 音楽のみで通じ合う、崩壊と再生のダイナソーJr.ドキュメンタリー。切なく哀愁を帯びたメロディを殺伐とした轟音で包み込む、アメリカン・オルタナティブ・ロックの核をなしたバンド、ダイナソーJr.初のドキュメンタリー映画。80年代USハードコア/パンクの直撃を受けた面々によって1984年、マサチューセッツ州で結成されたバンドの歴史を、オリジナル・メンバーであるJ・マスキス (G./Vo.)、ルー・バーロウ (B.)、マーフ (D.)の三人の関係性にフォーカスしながら貴重な過去のフッテージを交えて描く、バンド自身が製作に関わったバンド公式の映画作品。「本当はストラトキャスターが欲しかったが金が無く、仕方なくジャズマスターを買った」と語るJ・マスキスのギター音があまりに巨大だったため、リズム隊の二人は自らの音が聴こえるべくボリュームを上げるしかなかったというダイナソーJr.の凄まじい轟音は、ニルヴァーナやサウンドガーデン、パール・ジャムなどのグランジ・ムーブメントが勃発するより前にソニック・ユースに見出された先駆であり、2ndアルバムはUSハードコア界の総統ともいうべきグレッグ・ギン (ブラック・フラッグ)運営のSSTレコードからリリースされた。巷に溢れたハードコア・サウンドとは一線を画す、暗く、ヘヴィでギターまみれな音の洪水でありながらもポップでキャッチーさを備え、そしてニール・ヤングやニック・ケイヴ的とも云われる無気力極まりない唯一無二のボーカルが欧米の地下世界で絶大な支持を得た。しかし、ツアー中のある出来事をきっかけに三人の関係性は崩壊。ルーとマーフは次々と脱退、新メンバーを迎えて活動を継続したダイナソーJr.はJ・マスキスのソロ色を強めていった。ダイナソーJr.の音楽は、売れようとするものでもなく、他人に聴いてもらおうとするものでもなく、ルー・バーロウは「どのぐらい客が集まるか、どれだけの人が聴いてくれるのかと考えたことがない。俺たちは客を襲うためにライヴをやっていた」と語る。人気を獲得するためにギラギラするロックスター然としたバンドとは対極、音楽以外には一切関心がない三人のコミュニケーションは唯一、音楽を通じて図られる。そんな音楽だけで結ばれていたオリジナル・メンバー三人それぞれの正直な証言を引き出し、そして2005年以降再集結した現在までを、華美な演出を許さない愛情溢れる視点でまとめたのは、J・マスキスとは義理の親族にあたるフィリップ・ロッケンハイム。これまで100本以上のミュージックビデオを手掛け、ジム・ジャームッシュ監督作『ギミー・デンジャー』 (2016)にも撮影素材が使われるなど長年音楽映像の世界で活躍するベルリン在住の監督。バンドの歴史と、再始動を果たした現在の姿をも捉える様子は映画『ピクシーズ/ラウド・クァイエット・ラウド』 (2006)、そして被写体に寄り添う優しい眼差しは映画『ミニットメン: ウィ・ジャム・エコノ』 (2005)を想起させる。80年代末から90年代にかけてオルタナティブ・ロックという巨大な渦の中心にいたダイナソーJr.の約30年にわたる心情と佇まい、音楽をタイトに、丁寧に、誠実に描いた本作は、同時に人間の成長と友情の在り方も映し出すものとなった。
