The movie offers insight into the making of Arcade Fire’s international No. 1 album Reflextor. The film charts the band’s creative journey as it lays foundations for the album in Jamaica, records in Montreal and plays an impromptu gig at a Haitian hotel on the first night of Carnival, before performing live shows before packed arenas in Los Angeles and London.

 The 91-minute movie, which was recently accepted by the Toronto International Film Festival, blends never before seen personal interviews and moments captured by the band to dazzling effect, and features 15 minutes of exclusive, unseen footage, filmed only for cinema audiences.
