All We Are Saying?

[LeighB04]

Has anybody seen Rosanna Arquette's documentary called "All We Are Saying"? Can't find anything about it as yet, but I know it features our girl...

ALL WE ARE SAYING

premiered tribeca 4/22-23

" The overwhelming bevy of underwhelming pop tarts, trite boy bands, toy rockers, and overhyped rappers that have held the music charts hostage over the past few years has inspired actress-turned-filmmaker Rosanna Arquette to confiscate pop music's microphone and return it to some of its greatest songwriters, singers, and musicians so they can wax poetic about the state of music today, how they balance life and art, and their muses in rock 'n' roll. Important artists in nearly every genre, from the 1960s to present day, are represented, including Willie Nelson, Burt Bacharach, Stevie Nicks, Don Henley, Peter Gabriel, Iggy Pop, Sting, Boy George, Annie Lennox, Mary J. Blige, Flea, Sheryl Crow, and André 3000. Through a series of interviews set in the warm, intimate confines of these rockers' homes, backstage dressing rooms, and recording studios, Arquette's two-camera chat-fest allows audiences to become a fly on the wall to refreshingly honest, sometimes funny, and mostly thought-provoking conversations. There's David Crosby observing that he finds Britney Spears 'as deep as a birdbath, compared to Joni Mitchell,' while Mitchell herself reveals that she opts out of today's music game because she dislikes the record promotion machine. And then there's punk icon Patti Smith, who gets sweetly tender when discussing the joys of parenting in rock 'n' roll. Unlike most celebrity-driven, puff-piece documentaries, this film is an enjoyably lean tête-Ã*-tête-even the few tangents are engrossing. A must-see for all music lovers.

Yeah, I heard about this (and "joined the mailing list") quite some time ago, and I have not heard anything. But I had completely forgotten about it, so thank you for reminding me! Maybe it'll show up at a film fest somewhere in my parts, someday--or on DVD?

I read it was going to premiere on Cinemax. Haven't heard anything about an airdate, though.

in march at the South by Southwest film festival this was stated "All We Are Saying: Rosanna Arquette's fanumentary about musicians, their art and the state of the music business is by turns funny, poignant and unexpectedly illuminating. By sitting down with everyone from Thom Yorke to Elton John to Chrissie Hynde, Arquette reveals heretofore hidden facets of some of music's greatest talents. A tremendously entertaining film that is also currently without distribution." hopefully they found one after tribeca

although it is not currently available, they have also posted info about it at my dvd service website and they don't often do that unless it is coming soon...hope so.
