Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young – Déjà Vu
Overview
CSNY/Déjà Vu is a 2008 film directed by Bernard Shakey, a pseudonym for Neil Young. It focuses on the career of Crosby Stills Nash and Young, its musical connection to its audience and the turbulent times with which its music is associated as the band goes on their 2006 Freedom of Speech tour.
Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Many come to the shows unprepared for the heavy sermonizing. Others call for it. The documentary seems equally divisive.
CSNY Deja Vu has some delicious moments, but you never quite shake the feeling that it's documenting a tempest in a teapot.
The band's harmonies have crumbled and their new songs sound like paint being chipped off an aluminum shed with a garden rake. Their hits would sound better on the next eight-track you see at a yard sale.
Young, who directed the movie, compares today's climate with the Vietnam era, and doesn't bother hiding his disappointment in the present.
