I think that issue speaks to the question at the heart of the concert movie. I.e., what is the purpose of a concert movie? Is it supposed to be a cinematic experience or a concert experience? I feel like the purpose of the concert movie is to be a cinematic experience. The film should be able to transcend whatever preexisting affinity a person might have for an artist. If the goal is to be a concert experience, I don’t think it has to reach beyond the boundaries of the artist's existing fandom. It just has to capture the feeling of a concert. If it is the latter, is the concert movie even cinema? I think those questions would make reviewing at least one of the upcoming concert movies an interesting episode of across the movie aisle.
