Out Of The Woods

Esteemed as the only real survivors from the Post-Punk era, for more than a quarter of a century The Cure have presented the bizarre perspectives and nightmare mental landscapes of mainstay Robert Smith to a devoted universal following. This documentary traces the band's turbulent history from teenage jam sessions, through successive incarnations as Punks, Goths, and MTV darlings, and onto their more recent role as the elder statesman of misery and inspiration for a whole new generation of bands. For the first time we go behind the scenes and under the greasepaint to discover the truth about this astonishing band. Revealing how these performers of melancholy music achieved their success, how they've continued to be at the cutting edge of innovative music for more than 25 years, and why they remain hugely relevant in today's fickle music industry.
