Dig! XX

Ondi Timoner’s cult music documentary returns after 20 years, remastered and extended, to explore rock’s most volatile friendship.

Two American rock bands – The Dandy Warhols and The Brian Jonestown Massacre – collide in director Ondi Timoner’s chaotic chronicle of friendship, rivalry and the cost of ambition. Dig! XX revisits the chaos, 20 years after the cult documentary was first released, with new unseen footage and narration by BJM musician Joel Gion (in addition to the original narrator, DW frontman Taylor-Taylor).

This is one film that cannot be accused of being a puff piece. Publicly disowned by both bands’ frontmen, it is the result of 2,500 hours of footage whittled down to Timoner’s ultimate question: “Can you maintain your integrity and reach a mass audience?”
