Review of Brothers of the Head (2006) by Bannan I — 18 Sep 2007
I was anticipating seeing this movie for eons and was glad that I waited. The atmosphere makes it appear to be based on a true story...so I was a little shocked to find out it was based on a book instead.
The story of two siamese twins plucked from their quiet country life and plunged into the music business. Their father practically signs them off to a label despite the sister's protests.
It is a dark, gritty, sometimes painful but also extremely beautiful in all its strangeness. The music itself is raw and full of human emotion as they turn their anger for the world into song.
As I'm quite biased when it comes to IFC films [as in I love almost all of them...], it may not be just for anyone.
Regardless, I do think you lot should check it out...just don't expect sunshine and lollipops.
