Bananaz

GORILLAZ Bananaz (2009 UK Region 0 PAL DVD - In the late 1990s Jamie Hewlett met Damon Albarn and the concept of Gorillaz was born sometime after. At the birth of the project film maker Ceri Levy set about to document this undertaking. The result is Bananaz 91 minutes inside the remarkable real world of Gorillaz - the most successful cartoon band ever. The film takes down the virtual walls of Gorillaz. Levy filmed alongside and behind the scenes from 2000 to 2006 from first drawings animations music and the musicians through to the faces behind the voices of Murdoc 2D Noodle and Russel Hobbs. The result is an unsanitised free-wheeling documentary film; an intimate honest and often hilarious account of the working relationship between Albarn and Hewlett. With appearances by many of those who occasionally pass through this world: Dennis Hopper De la Soul Ibrahim Ferrer Dangermouse Dan the Automator D12 Bootie Brown and Neneh Cherry. The DVD will also feature The Bananaz Home Movie Club with up to an hour of outtakes from the film. Rolls include: Clint Eastwood Live in Japan The Sneeze Hello America Bill Murray featuring The Bees and Food Chain amongst others.)
