This new and critically acclaimed feature-length film about Wilco follows the band through the making of their fourth album, "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, " later named No. 1 record of the year by Rolling Stone. The film shows the conflicts that arise when a band creates an artistic and challenging record while signed to a record company in the midst of a giant corporate takeover. It follows the beginning of the album's recording, the band's parting ways with their former label, Reprise, band member changes, touring, and signing with their new label, Nonesuch. Dave Kehr of the New York Times writes "A music documentary with an unusually strong narrative drive... Shot on a high contrast, black-and-white stock that suggests both "A Hard Day's Night," the lighthearted Beatles fantasy of pop stardom, and "Don't Look Back," D. A. Pennebaker's down-to-earth profile of Bob Dylan, "I Am Trying to Break Your Heart" finds an effective middle course between fan club worshipfulness and the studied detachment of the professional journalist...."
A Music Film Series scheduled for Thursday nights will follow I AM TRYING TO BREAK YOR HEART starting on Thursday, September 26.
