In this experimental musical biopic concert film, Pavement's sold-out 2022 tour becomes a surreal backdrop for an off-Broadway musical adaptation of their songs, a museum devoted to the band's legacy, and a Hollywood biopic with its own awards-baiting aspirations. As preparations get underway, director Alex Ross Perry weaves together scripted scenes, documentary footage, and a jukebox musical that loosely tracks the progression and themes of Pavement's works, chronologically. The result is a semiotic experiment that defies explanation, combining elements of documentary with a spoof biopic of the band, and incorporating moments from a fictional story about an aspiring musician who meets his muse in New York City. With its eclectic blend of styles and irreverent spirit, Pavements is a music doc that both pays affectionate tribute to its subject and unpacks the cultural philosophy it personifies.
