Placebo: The Search for Meaning
Placebo: The Search for Meaning
Since emerging from obscurity in the 1990s with provocative songs such as “Nancy Boy” and “Bruise Pristine”, Placebo forged a decidedly unfashionable path through the brazenly macho ‘Britpop’ scene to explore subjects such as the body politic and the continued erosion of our human rights and our individuality, the ever-growing epidemic of apathy in society and the hubris & corruption of those in power. Placebo seemed to be asking the questions no one else dared to, then dared the individual to find their own answers.
The film’s overall narrative is structured around incredible and completely new performances of Placebo’s latest songs – taken from their recent international hit album ‘Never Let Me Go’ – captured at Britain’s legendary Twickenham Film Studios, where The Beatles can be seen composing a new album in Peter Jackson’s “Get Back;” as well as intercut with archive footage of the band, and exclusive, never-before-seen, material that spans across their entire career, including their creative and personal collaboration with David Bowie and his enduring influence.
