Shut Up and Play the Hits w/ Short

USA 2012, 108 min, Digital, Dir: Will Lovelace & Dylan Southern

On April 2nd, 2011, LCD Soundsystem played its final show at Madison Square Garden. LCD frontman James Murphy had made the conscious decision to disband one of the most celebrated and influential bands of its generation at the peak of its popularity, ensuring that the band would go out on top with the biggest and most ambitious concert of its career. The instantly sold out, near four-hour extravaganza did just that, moving the thousands in attendance to tears of joy and grief. Shut Up and Play the Hits is simultaneously a document of a once-ina- lifetime performance and an intimate portrait of Murphy as he navigates both the personal and professional ramifications of his decision.
