Rock musician Sting likens any pop group’s breakup to a divorce. It’s nearly always an acrimonious split that leaves fans emotionally devastated. Facing a mid-life crisis, intrepid reporter Geoff Edgers (formerly a writer for Raleigh’s News and Observer) sets out to get his “family” back together again, burdening himself with the Quixotic task of reuniting the notoriously rancorous band the Kinks. Along the way, he manages to convince a cavalcade of rock’s royalty to perform their favorite Kinks songs—with Edgers on accompaniment. Unlike their peers in the first British invasion, the Kinks turned their creative sights away from the youth revolution and focused instead on the nostalgic recollection of bygone days. Like the Kinks’s best music, Do It Again is simultaneously rocking and bittersweet. A rock documentary unlike any other, this film manages to combine intimate reinterpretations of Kinks classics with wistful reminiscence over the irretrievable past.  TW
