Imagine if Bill & Ted were desperate musicians who accidentally time-traveled to 2008, broke the laws of physics, and started a psychic war with their future selves. That’s the vibe of Matt Johnson’s absolute riot of a new movie.
When their plan to book a show at the Rivoli in Toronto goes horribly wrong, Matt and Jay accidentally travel back to the year 2008.
Combining slyly skillful filmmaking with gut-busting laughs, Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie will be pure heaven for fans of the web series while making happy converts of the uninitiated.
This is the rare project fueled by an almost reckless passion for filmmaking itself. It’s wildly inventive, absurdly imaginative, and unafraid to push creative, cinematic, and even legal boundaries.
It feels as though films like this only come along once in a generation. It’s the type of movie that makes audiences wonder, “How did this get made? How did they get away with it? How much of this is real? Was any of it even legal?”
Part Wayne’s World, part Back to the Future, and entirely insane, Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie is a glorious, genre-bending mockumentary that took SXSW by storm and took home Best Motion Picture at the Canadian Screen Awards.
