Shut
Up and Play the Hits is
an intimate view into LCD Soundsystem’s final moments as a band. The documentary follows post-punk
auteur James Murphy as he prepares for his band’s final show and then reveals
what happens after the lights dim and Murphy awakens the following
morning. Interspersed with these
narratives is the actual concert footage from Madison Square Garden, which will
make anyone feel they attended the concert in person. The documentary seems a bit staged in its early moments, but
when Murphy kicks into “Dance Yrself Clean” live, I am reminded of LCD’s status
as one of the greatest bands of our time.
