    What is Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie about?

    Toronto's most delusionally ambitious indie band embarks on a feature-length caper to finally make it — blurring the line between their CBC mockumentary series and reality as Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol scheme, sabotage, and serenade their way through a city that has mostly stopped listening. The film graduates cult TV into cinemas with meta-humor sharp enough to clear 90% critics, treating failure as both punchline and tragedy. Elysia Rotaru and Steve-O fill out an ensemble committed to cringe as art form.
