Oh! The Grandeur

About This Movie

So, 'Oh! The Grandeur' is this unique gem shot in '99 featuring Andrew Bird's Bowl of Fire. It's not just a concert film, though—there's this palpable energy in the air, you know? The Hideout in Chicago has such an intimate vibe, it really makes you feel like you're part of the scene. The pacing is relaxed but engaging, letting you soak in the performances. Bird’s eclectic sound blends folk, pop, and jazz, and his musicianship shines through. The practical effects are minimal but charming, keeping the focus on the music and the atmosphere. It’s a slice of late '90s indie culture, and while the director might not be well-known, this film has its own narrative that resonates with the live music experience.
