Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Tailor-made for anyone who likes a story with a soundtrack worth keeping and anyone who's ever talked to their pet. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Sits nicely alongside Woodstock. An animal steals a fair few scenes.
The mood
Eye-opening.
The pace
A big, patient story, at 10 hr 15 min.
What might put you off
  • It's long: 10 hr 15 min.
  • Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

Polarizing art-metal weirdos HORSE the band grow tired of life in the American underground music scene and decide to book and fund a 45-countries-in-90-days, round-the-world tour, all by themselves. Unprecedented in its scope and bravery, it is the most ambitious nonstop tour ever attempted. $60,000 of credit card debt later, hilarity, chaos, and metaphysical crises begin to ensue as the band strays far from the tourist-trodden path into the homes, underground clubs, and hangouts of real and driven people from some of Earth's most exotic locales. Sleep deprivation and non-stop travel eventually take their toll, snowballing into an absurd and meaningless seven-and-a-half-hour climax of binge-drinking, fear, thoughtful reflection, hatred, literary criticism, severe depression, and infantile behavior. A modern day Heart of Darkness taking a decidedly frank, open, and honest look at the classic misgivings of a terrible life: What the fuck are we doing? and What happened to me?
