And that tension gives birth to great things. Witness the Stripes' entire discography, a workmanlike collection of songs built around two people and something like three instruments (occasionally, there's a piano). Or their rise to fame, which was anything but meteoric, built over the course of a decade's worth of blisters and bruises. Or this film, which most certainly ranks as one of the best rock docs in recent memory, if not of all time. The onstage moments are incendiary — standouts include a soulful and surging take on "Jolene" in Iqaluit and an undying version of "I'm Slowly Turning Into You" taken from their Yellowknife performance — and the backstage stuff is gripping, particularly the last scene, filmed after their 10th anniversary show in Nova Scotia. While I don't want to give too much away, it manages to raise goose bumps, a masterful presentation of unspoken emotions and weighty subtext.
