Low - You May Need A Murderer

DVD Total time: 70 minutes
During 2007 Dutch tv/documentary maker David Kleijwegt filmed the legendary cool trio LOW. For almost a month the film crew followed
core-members, Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker, in their natural habitat: on tour, at home in Duluth, Minnesota, in their church community and as
parents. "You May Need A Murderer" is a portrait of a band set against the scenery of modern day America, a country that according to Low rapidly
equals a third world country. In almost fifteen years Low became an institution in the independent and alternative scene. Famous for their quietness,
beautiful slow songs, fascinating harmonies and also for the religious background of Alan and Mimi who are dedicated to the Mormon church. This
high-standard doc is more than an on-the-road movie or behind-the-scenes video. "You May Need A Murderer" shows Sparhawk as the ambivalent
main character in an intriguing movie about religion, violence, questions of conscience and - to be concealed or not - madness, that can also be seen
as a touching love story.
Broadcast by VPRO Television in the Netherlands in March 2008.
