Brothers of the Head (2005)
dir. Keith Fulton and Louis Pepe
starring: Harry Treadaway, Luke Treadaway
genre: Drama
Brothers of the Head, a bizarre, but compelling "mockumentary" based on Brian Aldiss's 1977 novel about a legendary 1970s-era British proto-punk band Bang Bang and the conjoined twins who led it, until drug abuse and jealousy over the same woman tore them apart (literally). This is Keith Fulton and Louis Pepe's first feature, they co-directed the doc (Lost in La Mancha) about Terry Gilliam's fated attempt to make a film in 2002 about Don Quixote in Spain starring Johnny Depp. Brothers of the Head is a bit over the top, but wow, what a ride.
