Hung Up on a Dream: The Zombies Documentary plot

They met as teenagers and made history as one of the biggest bands of the British Invasion. The Zombies conquered America with their hit "She's Not There" and became the first British band after The Beatles to reach number one in the US. But their story is anything but ordinary. Nearly sixty years later, the band members themselves recount how they braved the fickle music industry and created one of the most influential albums ever. A story of bizarre twists and turns, from their breakup when "Time of the Season" became a global hit, to how talent and friendship ultimately brought this legendary band back to the top.

A captivating and enjoyable documentary. I was a bit surprised by the length, because in my mind, the band only had two-thirds of their hits. What could you possibly tell them about them then? But it's interesting and also shows plenty of interesting material from after the hits. Many music documentaries tend to falter after discussing the peak of their career. A fascinating documentary that, as a music lover, I learned something from.

The rock band responsible for pop classics like "She's Not There" and "Time Of The Season" decided to break up after recording, but before the release of, the album "Odessey And Oracle." To their great surprise, "Time Of The Season" reached number one in the US a few months later. Why The Zombies broke up and why it took 50 years for the band to perform the album live for the first time is the focus of this documentary. It offers a good overview of the development of the music industry from the 1960s onward, but the band members ensured that it remained a well-considered, positive retrospective.
