Pavements, premiering tomorrow at the 2024 Venice Film Festival , Alex Ross Perry takes a kaleidoscopic approach to capturing the band’s shambolic magic.

The indie-rock group of the 1990s enraptured critics, flummoxed the mainstream record industry, and annoyed the grunge crowd.

It took Spotify , and then TikTok , to turn the B-side " Harness Your Hopes " into the rare anthem that unites Gen X and Gen Z.

Jason Schwartzman was the obvious choice to play Pavement 's longtime friend and long-suffering label chief.

Pavements will screen at the New York Film Festival in October .

After debuting at Venice , the film is expected to be released next year .

The real Pavement frontman says he was less charmed by seeing himself depicted in ridiculous cliché terms.
