 CA\n\n\nColor Me Obsessed: A Film about the Replacements\n\nWith Color Me 
 Obsessed, the first documentary on the influential '80s indie-rock band, 
 The Replacements, director Gorman Bechard brings an extraordinary vision to 
 a unique filmmaking challenge. Told through the eyes of fans, friends, and 
 contemporaries, the film breaks from the traditional music documentary 
 format of music and performances. "Not wanting to make a 
 VH1/where-are-they-now style documentary, I decided to present the band in 
 a more iconic way," the director explains. "I thought, people believe in 
 God without seeing or hearing him but rather through the passion, faith, 
 and stories of others. After watching COLOR ME OBSESSED, I'm pretty sure 
 music fans will believe in The Replacements in much the same 
 way."\n\nDubbed "the last best band" by Spin Magazine, The Replacements 
 live shows could be miraculous or downright disasters. Their fans, 
 unwaveringly faithful. As critic's darlings, their albums were wrought with 
 angry guitars and passionate well-written lyrics that hinted at potential 
 commercial success. Yet, somehow, the band managed to continually shoot 
 themselves in the foot. Their relative obscurity was a motivating factor in 
 presenting their story on film.\n\nCombining over 140 interviews with 
 rockers (Colin Meloy of The Decemberists, Craig Finn of The Hold Steady, 
 Tommy Ramone, Grant Hart and Greg Norton of Husker Du, all three members of 
 Goo Goo Dolls), journalists (Robert Christgau, Legs McNeil, Ira Robbins, 
 Greg Kot, Jim DeRogatis), and fans both famous (Tom Arnold, Dave Foley, 
 George Wendt) and not, Bechard delivers the obsessive tale of the most 
 influential band you've never heard of, to many the greatest rock band of 
 all time, The Replacements. And though containing not a note of their 
 music, Color Me Obsessed is a documentary that really rocks.\n\nNamed one 
 of the best music documentaries of 2011 by Rolling Stone.\n\n
