About This Item
NTSC/Region 0. Filmed at The Lucksmiths' August 2009 farewell show at Melbourne's Corner Hotel, Unfamiliar Stars is both a captivating concert film and a definitive end-of-the-line document, standing tall among the best of the band's vast discography. Directed by Natalie van den Dungen (The Tote documentary), the film captures the final bittersweet airings of many Lucksmiths favorites as witnessed by a full-house of hometown fans, friends and family. Clocking in at a total of 33 songs, the swansong performance is the culmination of farewell tours across Europe and Australia, and finds the band in vintage form, cherry-picking pop gem after pop gem from their 16-year career and filling the gaps with a double-dose of irrepressible Lucksmiths repartee.
