Do It Again

(Robert Patton Spruill, USA, 2010, DigiBeta, 90 min) Every serious music fan has a favorite bandbut it's a very rare fan that single-handedly attempts to reunite that band years after they've packed it in. In order to conquer his midlife crisis, the committed pop journalist Geoff Edgers' dream is to bring back together The Kinks. After years of squabbling over creative differences, The Kinks founding brothers, Ray and Dave Davies, don't speak to each other anymore. But Edgers remains undeterred, and he sets out on a quixotic quest to bring the brothers together again. Along the way, he receives advice from fellow Kinks fans like Sting, Peter Weller of the Jam, Peter Buck, Robyn Hitchcock, and Zooey Deschanel, all of whom he attempts to engage in a Kinks sing-a-long. Do It Again is a fascinating document of the kind of music-loving mania embraced by all true fans.
