This is an excellent documentary about the creative force behind and excellent band: The Magnetic Fields. Merritt is a prolific songwriter, perhaps most famous in the popular music scene (if famous can be used for this band at all) for his album 69 Love Songs (which or course contains 69 tracks). Merritt has a deadpan sense of humor and presence on stage and this film gives a great view into both his creative process as well as the culture of the band that has been together for more than 20 years. If you are a Magnetic Fields fan, this is well worth seeing. If you have no idea whether you are a fan, then watch this and then become one.
