Sometimes-Nashvillian Robert Plant and his three droogs — Jimmy Page, John Bonham and John Paul Jones (also no stranger to Nashville and the Belcourt, no less) — blew the tail-end of the ‘60s’ British Invasion wide open with their raw, blues-drenched, riff-heavy rock and roll. And the rest — through their 10 albums and enduring legacy — is history. Billed as the first authorized doc on one of the biggest bands in history, the real story here is the in-depth exploration of the rise of the band as specifically relates to the incubation period in and around their first two albums. If a film for every two albums is the plan, then we cannot WAIT for the next four films. C’mon, Zep! Squeeze our lemon.
"BECOMING LED ZEPPELIN is a fascinating look at the creation of one of the greatest rock acts to ever exist. Led Zeppelin were truly a band where each of the four members played a vital part in its success, and that’s on full display throughout the film.” —Spencer Kaufman, Consequence "If you’re someone who treasures the music of Led Zeppelin more than you’re interested in the legend—or the gossip, or the dirt, or whatever you want to call it—of Led Zeppelin, this movie is absolutely for you. I’m one of those people, and I ate it up." —Glenn Kenny, rogerebert.com “An eye-opening delight — a visit with charming old men who modestly recall the music-drunk paths they took to forming the defining band of the classic-rock ’70s.” —John DeFore, Hollywood Reporter
