The National - Live At Montreux Jazz Festival Trailers

Twenty-five years after their debut, The National continues to improve year after year, whether on record or on stage. While they are among the most important indie bands of this century, they have perhaps never been more popular than they are today. Their recent collaborations with Taylor Swift, who cites them as her favorite group, or with Phoebe Bridgers have allowed them to reach new audiences. Last year was one of the most important for the Cincinnati group, which released two LPs in quick succession and was voted group of the year by Forbes newspaper. Their immaculate discography now includes ten albums and as many reinventions of their signature sound, imbued with sometimes raw, sometimes sophisticated arrangements, and the sensual baritone voice of Matt Berninger. The National will perform for the third time in Montreux, after a concert at Miles Davis Hall in 2008 and at the Montreux Jazz Café in 2012.

Reviews
Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
