Cure For Pain: The Mark Sandman Story
(Robert Bralver & David Ferino, USA, 2010, Blu-Ray, 83 min)
Cure for Pain: The Mark Sandman Story examines the life and work of Mark Sandman, deceased front man of the Boston "low rock" band Morphine. From his Newton, Mass., roots to his travels across America and around the globe, Sandman left an indelible imprint as one of the most distinctive musicians of his generation. Cure for Pain explores the meaning of family through this critically praised and personally conflicted singer, songwriter and innovative instrumentalist and revisits the "unique and sultry sound" of Sandman's music. The pursuit of Sandman's turbulent story led filmmakers Robert G. Bralver, Jeff Broadway and David Ferino to New York, Boston, San Francisco, Los Angeles, London and Rome. Among those appearing in the film are members of the Sandman family, Seth Mnookin (Vanity Fair), Nic Harcourt (Los Angeles Times, KCRW), Steve LaBate (Paste), Ben Harper, John Medeski, Les Claypool (Primus), Mike Watt (The Stooges), Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age) and members of Morphine: Dana Colley, Billy Conway and Jerome Deupree. Cure for Pain is hot off of its US premiere at the world renowned, Full Frame Documentary Film Festival.
