A prismatic hybrid of narrative, scripted, documentary, musical, and metatextual forms, the film intimately shows the band preparing for their sold-out 2022 reunion tour while simultaneously tracking the preparations for a musical based on their songs, a museum devoted to their history, and a big-budget Hollywood biopic inspired by their saga as the most important band of a generation.
With playful performances from Stranger Things star Joe Keery preparing for the role of Stephen Malkmus and Jason Schwartzman as the band’s exhausted manager, Pavements is both an ode to the iconic band and music films itself.
