Movie | High Tech Soul | Fail

I'm not sure exactly what I was expecting from this movie, but I didn't get whatever it was. More about the music would have been a nice start.

This is a documentary about the creation of techno music in Detroit. It's also about the city itself, in all its' gruesome glory.

But, the film fails to connect on a personal level, even though it concentrates solely on the personalities behind the music. That's because no attempt is made to get the viewer to care about the people, even though we're obviously supposed to idolize them.

So, what you're left with is a bunch of self-aggrandizing talk heads rambling on and on about who knows what.

A disappointment. Coulda been great.
