Review of Brothers of the Head (2006) by Andrew C — 02 May 2010

A wonderfully realised pseudo-documentary focusing on the failed punk career of conjoined twins, this is a multilayered film that rewards careful viewing. The odd and surreal sit side by side with gritty hand held camera footage, interspersed with scenes from a supposed Ken Russell biopic (including interviews with Russell himself), all of which adds up to a film of great subtlety and sadness, in which the characters' real motivations and regrets are left for the viewer to interpret.

The music is also very listenable, and evokes the mid- to late-'70s period very faithfully.
