Mistaken for Strangers

Can you imagine what your life would be like if your brother was a rock star?

“Mistaken for Strangers” is a fascinating music documentary that takes it upon itself to shed some light on indie rock’s most irresistible dandies, The National, directed by the frontman’s little brother Tom Berninger. And although this might be a film full of melodies by the New York-based band that started out from Cincinnati to conquer the world, it’s also a redemptive self-portrait of the man who made it, a painfully honest look at the life of a man who watches other people succeed around him while he flirts with failure at every turn.

The Stone Roses: Made of Stone
