This is by far...The best Documentary I've ever seen and will see. It will change your life as well as get you into the best music. I have every Brian Jonestown Massacre album/singles and when I saw this it got me into the Dandy Warhols as well. You could watch this every weekend.

Disturbingly satisfying

Anton's an entertaining junky, a musical anomily, and was incomparibly helpful in finalizing my opinion of how much the dandy warhols suck.

My favorite documentary of all time!
Added 5/24/2009
I can easily say this is one of my favorite documentaries. I've probably seen this movie over 20 times. If you're into 60s revivalist/psychedelic music you'll love this. If you're not into that kind of music you'll probably still like it - as the story of BJM is so totally engrossing. I HIGHLY recommend this movie to all music and film buffs out there.

Best indie-rock documentary ever
Added 10/19/2008
Let me state upfront that I am a huge Brian Jonestown Massacre fan, and not very knowledgeable about the Dandy Warholes. That cleared up, I don't know what it's taken me so long to see this movie, but I finally did, and it frankly blew my mind. This release comes with 2 DVD's.
DVD 1 (120 min.) brings the original film (107 min.), tracing the origins of both bands, and their respective band leaders/singer-song-writers, Aton Newcombe for BMJ and Courtney Taylor for the Warholes. The movie was filmed over a 7 year period (1996-2003) and showcases the struggles of both bands to make it 'big'. The main focus of the film is on Anton Newcombe, a brilliant musician, but a very troubled human being (and I'm being kind). Clearly having the talent to make it big, Anton simply self-implodes time and again. Whether this is by choice or not is probably a medical issue, frankly. Watch the LA Viper Room scene, when they all know there are a number of record executives in the room, wanting to sign the band, and the gig ends up incredibly in an all-out fight among the band members on stage. Unbelievable, but real. The movie comes with a number of "linkouts" (about 15 min. in total) that lead you to additional scenes (such as when the Dandy Warholes' drummer leaves the band, which then gives a interview with the guy after the facts, reflecting on it).
DVD 2 ( 65 min.) brings deleted scenes, videos from the Dandy Warholes, and several live clips from BJM, as well as a jam session between Anton and Courtney. But most interesting for me was the "Where Are They Now" sequence, as well as an extended interview with the film's director.
I had never seen Brian Jonestown Massacre live until last year at the Monolith Music Festival (at the Red Rocks near Denver) and their 60 min. tension-filled set was fascinating. Anton Newcombe berated both the audience and his own band members, walking out several times, only to return. Unforgettable. Earlier this year, both bands have released a new album (BMJ's "My Bloody Underground" is quite good actually). Meanwhile, "Dig!" is indispensable for any indie-music fan.

Excelent documental for the underated brian jonestown massacre.
Added 5/12/2008
I would preffer that spanish subtitles were included in the dvd I have bought. Maybe that information whas included in the description of the item and I've missed it, maybe the information was omited. Anyway, and despite of the fact that the product is used, IT LOOKS LIKE NEW. Great Buy, and great service from Amazon.
