MONKS – THE TRANSATLANTIC FEEDBACK, a documentary on legendary underground band

The Monks - five American GIs in cold-war Germany who billed themselves as the anti-Beatles - comes to the U.S. for a limited theatrical engagement.

Premiering on Halloween at New York’s home of the avant-garde, Anthology Film Archives, the film will travel to independent theaters across the U.S. through the end of the year. Heavy on feedback, nihilism and electric banjo, the Monks modeled themselves after Franciscan monks, dressed in black, mocked the military and rocked harder than any of their mid-sixties counterparts while managing to basically invent industrial, heavy metal, punk and techno music.

This documentary not only situates the Monks phenomenon in the social, historical and political context of post-War German pop music, but also reveals the band’s significance as the first marriage of pop art and popular music, beating Andy Warhol and the Velvet Underground to the punch. The five protagonists of the film came to Germany in 1961 as soldiers and left the country in 1967 as avant-garde heroes. For more than thirty years, they were not able to talk about their strange experience – until ilmmakers Dietmar Post & Lucia Palacios dared to tell their amazing story.

“It takes more than just documenting a great band to make a great movie: the band has to be unique in spirit and story and fit into a larger picture of the rock canon, and the filmmakers have to find the cinematic language to bring that essence to the screen. Never have these rarities all come together more beautifully than in MONKS.”

–Allison Anders

“Post and Palacios interview a series of art and music luminaries to parse what your ears tell you right away – that the Monks sounded like nothing else, that their unity behind beats (off-kilter but severe) and riffs (like the Hulk playing James Brown) anticipated a spectrum of crazed modern
music, from heavy metal to dancehall.”

–Peter S. Scholtes, STAR TRIBUNE

Danke Bübül. J'ai vu le film l'an passé et un peu tapé la discut' avec le réalisateur du documentaire qui était là et nous a fait part de quelques anecdotes bien croquignoles. Par contre j'ai la raté les Monks quand ils sont passés à Berlin.
