Insurgentes is the new documentary film about Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree) directed by Lasse Hoile. Porcupine Tree are currently enjoying massive success across the world with their latest album, The Incident. Insurgentes is a musical road movie that follows the making of his solo record of the same name, and is a portrait of an increasingly rare artist who works with music and media out of love and not for fame and fortune, persisting in making art on his own terms in a world where 'throw away' mentality is increasingly becoming the norm.

Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring
Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
alxnorden-749-728545 I'm blown away by every element of this film....the music, the art direction, the subject matter...all of it captures you deeply and you come away with a real sense of understanding.The honest commentary from these artistes is exactly what the music industry needs more of - uninhibited, unapologetic stand points. But it's not just hot air and opinion that we're hearing - these guys have the determination and commitment to their art to see their visions through, regardless of whether it makes them popular or not. Highly recommend this film for it's refreshing and perceptive approach. Really makes you stop and think. Hauntingly beautiful too.
guerra_a_la_love At the beginning you'll find the movie kind of interesting, but each second that passes it becomes more than a movie; my senses got caught with the music that Steven creates and, even when he was the Star in the film, Lasse is the one that made possible this, his ideas complement what Wilson is trying to show. I really enjoyed it, I went to watch a "movie" and at the end of the credits I was more than satisfied with the result. The film shows the description about Wilson's career, since the beginning in his musical life and how does it evolves until our times. What's Wilson's perception about the ipods, the cellphones, the technology that disrupts our minds? These topics and more are debated in the film. Finally, this movie is perfect for those who are Steven's fans or those who loves the photography, cinematography, who are worried about the society in our time, those musicians who could discover a different point of view about this job. Hope you'll like it.Sorry if I had some mistakes
Gustavo Torres I just saw Insurgentes and i must say that I'm amazed. This is not important to me only as a film lover, but as a Steven Wilson hardcore fan and also as a proud Mexican. So i can say that the film might not be liked by all the audience because it is targeted to a certain public, and those certain public is reduced even more to musicians, then Steven Wilson fans, then Mexican, British and Israeli people, besides that the concept of the film it's very heavy, loud, visual and at some points weird so it might be hard to swallow to some people.This might be a spoiler. So i recommend to read this after watching the film.The film is very subjective, every scene, every mood swing, every colour, every significant and intimate moment in the life of Steven Wilson it's going to be interpreted differently by each and everyone of us. Obviously, as i said before, the film it's specially for the fans, to the ones that could recognize "Trains, the Aviv Geffen's, Mikael Akerfeldt's and John Wesley's cameos, "Only child","No Twilight Within the Courts of the Sun", "Insurgentes", the locations in each of our countries, "Pain", "Halo" from Arriving somewhere, the autograph signing in Insurgentes at the Rock Shop (i was there), the scenes from Harmony Korine, the poem from the beginning of Port Rubicon.The only thing that left me unhappy (and the Apple company) was the persistence of killing iPods, it's not wrong considering that it's his movie, the way he sees life but kinda kills the general mood of the film.Concluding, this film it's art in every sense of the word, has great visuals, a great message, funny comments, reflexive thoughts, moving scenes and loving artful scenes. It's a must see whether you're a Steven Wilson fan or not.
Creemy Creems I've always wondered what's inside Steven's brain? How does it work? How does he create such amazing music?... And I keep wondering... But, Insurgentes might give you an idea of this. You'll see great musicians that share a lot of Steven's ideas, wondering "What's wrong with music these days". Is music still a form of art or just a horrible business that someday will get you? Lasse on the other hand, gives us a dark and extraordinary image of what he does, always taking simple things and making them look like something coming out of Dario Argento's mind.Trust me, this is part of the music history, 20 years from now will see this as The Wall or Tommy. And I'll be part of it.Kindest Regards.
