Antoine Wagner, director of Phoenix’s official “Lisztomania” video, followed the Versailles quartet for over a year while Thomas Mars, Laurent Brancowitz, and co. set out on an extensive tour in the wake of their breakout fourth record, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. Now the result of Wagner and co-director Sorriano Francisco’s footage taken “in the footsteps” of the band’s meteoric rise has become a 52-minute documentary borrowing its title, From a Mess to the Masses, from the lyrics of the aforementioned single. The film premieres this week (on October 13th at 10PM) in France and Germany on the Arte television network, but here’s hoping it will hit screens elsewhere soon. In the meantime, check out the trailer, which promises plenty of live and behind-the-scenes footage to come, above.
