Pavements, an examination of the iconic '90s indie band “Pavement,” appears to be just another music documentary. Until it doesn't. A prismatic, narrative, scripted, documentary and musical hybrid, the film intimately shows the band preparing for their sold-out 2022 reunion tour while simultaneously tracking the preparations for a musical based on their songs, a museum devoted to their history and a big-budget Hollywood biopic inspired by their saga as the most important band of a generation.
