Address:
1871 N High St;Columbus, OH 43210
Admission:
$6-$8
Details:
The Residents are probably the most famous anonymous rock stars in
history, going from an underground San Francisco band to darlings of the music
video era. Always masked, they usually perform and appear wearing tuxedos with
top hats and large eyeballs for heads. By keeping their identities obscure,
they’ve been able to focus on their music, create an air of mystery, and follow
their unpredictable and delightfully bizarre muses. This absorbing documentary
doesn’t lift the veil on the masked members’ identities, but it does provide
the most comprehensive look at the band yet, including interviews with some of
its ardent fans: The Simpsons creator Matt Groening, magician Penn Jillette,
artist Gary Panter, MoMA curator Barbara London, and such musicians as Jerry
Harrison (the Talking Heads) and Les Claypool (Primus). (87 mins., DCP)
