Texas

About This Movie

So, 'Texas' is this intriguing documentary directed by Russell Crowe himself, which is kind of unique. It captures the behind-the-scenes vibe of his band, 30 Odd Foot of Grunts, as they work on a new album. The film has this relaxed yet intimate atmosphere, taking you on their journey from Australia to England and then to Austin. It feels very personal, almost like a home video, yet polished enough to appreciate the artistry. The pacing is laid-back, allowing you to soak in the moments between band members, which adds a real sense of camaraderie. It’s the little things, like their interactions and the rawness of recording sessions, that make it feel distinct. Really, it’s a slice-of-life sort of vibe that I think captures a moment in time well.

Filmed during the summer of 2000 · Sheds light on band dynamics · Focus on the recording process and travel
