U2: Achtung Baby: A Classic Album Under Review (2006)
This profile of the seminal rock band U2 traces the writing and recording of the group's landmark 1991 album Achtung Baby: a story that begins with the band verging on breaking up, and ends with a new era in the longstanding foursome's creativity and success. The release uses rare interviews, backstage footages, performances, as well as criticism and analysis by rock journalists and fellow musicians to tell the band's tale.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
