The Soulwax Movie Could Mash Itself Up Into An Oddly Compelling Flick

I’m a sucker for music documentaries, even those about acts I don’t follow all that much. When those documentaries are produced by Partizan Films–home of Michel Gondry–I’m placing an Amazon preorder for the DVD before I finish reading the first paragraph of the film’s description. Still, I’m not sure what to make of The Weekend Never Ends, a full-length “life on the road” look at Soulwax and their related act, 2ManyDJs. I enjoyed the Radio Soulwax bootlegs quite a bit, but that was back in 2001, and I walked away from a Coachella DJ set of theirs a few years ago out of boredom. The teaser makes the film seem somewhat compelling; I just hope it doesn’t wind up being like the incredibly dull Air tour film from a few years ago, only with more bass. [Partizan]
