Fotograf und Regisseur Anthony Crook, ein langjähriger Wegbegleiter, fängt die Essenz der fast drei Jahrzehnte umspannenden Geschichte von Mogwai ein, in Interviews mit Bandmitgliedern sowie Künstler Douglas Gordon und Autor Ian Rankin und Archivaufnahmen. Der Film zeigt auch schottisches Kulturleben von den bewegten 1990ern bis zum Lockdown, als Mogwai das zehnte Album As the Love Continues aufgenommen hat, und darüber hinaus.
Over 25 years and 10 studio albums—using brute sonic force mixed with subtlety and grace—Mogwai have defined their own musical genre and built a loyal following by staying true to their sound and true to their roots. The film takes us on a journey from their very beginnings, in the mid-1990s, to the band writing and rehearsing their tenth studio album in their hometown of Glasgow, Scotland in 2020 – a record made during lockdown. While at first seemingly impossible to make, they ultimately made history with it. Antony Crook, acclaimed photographer and director, and long-term Mogwai collaborator punctuated the film with moments of live performance and pre-recorded tracks capturing the essence of Mogwai’s nearly 30-year career.
