Omschrijving

This Search For Meaning is an intimate and thought-provoking exploration of the band's evolution, creative process, and the themes behind their music. Directed by award-winning filmmaker Oscar Sansom, the film moves beyond a typical origin story to examine Placebo's fearless engagement with topics like gender identity, addiction, surveillance, societal apathy, and the climate crisis. Through reflective new interviews with band members Brian and Stefan, along with contributions from artists such as Shirley Manson, Robbie Williams, and Yungblud, the film presents a multifaceted dialogue on modern identity and legacy. Interwoven with powerful new performances from their album Never Let Me Go, rare archival footage, and their collaboration with David Bowie, the documentary captures Placebo’s enduring impact and ongoing quest to make sense of the world through their music.
