Where Does a Body End?

This is a wonderful document of the band Swans, particularly for fans of the band. Unfortunately, with the source material available, it could have been so much more, which is slightly disappointing. The band have a magnificent story, one of overcoming failure after failure, not to mention constantly reinventing themselves even while staying true to the elements of their sound that made them unique in the first place. I think the biggest problem here lies in the film's editing: snippets of songs play for an annoyingly short time in between interviews, Michael Gira's childhood is strangely only explored after talking about the band's first few albums, and the part that documents the band's reunion and newfound success drags on without touching on individual albums or really exploring what is was that lead to them finally finding this success. These are minor complaints but they do detract from the experience, especially as I think there was a lot of potential here to attract new fans to the band, which I'm not sure this will. Regardless, if like me you are a fan of the group, you should absolutely love this. And I do want to congratulate Marco Porsia on getting this made in the first place, as it's clear this was a true labour of love. A great watch for any Swans fan!
