Wonderful meditative music (at the beginning a cloud of noise, after 20 minutes it gets you and suddenly after 70 minutes the film is stopped by the police and you don't want to leave the cinema, because you got to have more of it). A miracle has happened, you can be sure. every one in the band is sitting and playing his instrument (Nico and Ari play the tambourine) and seem stoic. You don't have to shake your hips like todays music industry owned clowns to capture the audience. The secret formula is in the music not in the faces or bodies. This is a movie as document, not as black and white visual masterpiece, but it works out in the best way you can imagine.
