The National’s Mistaken For Strangers film to show in British cinemas
By Aly Barchi | Published on Wednesday 14 May 2014
The National’s acclaimed real-life road movie, ‘Mistaken For Strangers’, is going to be shown in select UK and Irish cinemas on 14 Jun, the band’s label 4AD has confirmed.
First seen last year at the Tribeca Film Festival, it’ll premiere over here via a series of special screenings (special in that they’ll feature a live satellite Q&A with the film’s maker, Tom Berninger, and his older brother Matt, who fronts The National) on 14 Jun, before going on general cinema release on 27 Jun.
It’s billed as “an amazingly intimate and spirited film that not only follows a band in their ascent but also delves into the joys and struggles of brotherhood”, and came about after Tom Berninger was asked to join The National on tour as a roadie and opted to shoot it, honing in on his relationship with Matt.
