It Might Get Loud - Rock Doc
Playing at Sundance this week is a rock doc called It Might Get Loud, featuring an inside look at three of rock's master guitaros - U2's The Edge, Led Zeppelin's The Page and Jack the White. 
According to Hollywood Insider, "...the film is set up to let the legacies of the three men swirl together, interspersed with a two-day jam session on a soundstage and educational field trips. See Page play mandolin on the lawn of the mansion where they recorded Led Zeppelin IV! Learn how the Edge uses technology to turn a simple two-note strum into the pulsating riff of "Elevation"! Hear the original guitar demo for "Where the Streets Have No Name," and half the contents of Page's record collection! And though Jack White's largely manufactured backstory makes it hard to explore, the look on his face as he sits two feet away from Page and drinks in the elder statesman's performance of "Whole Lotta Love" says it all."
The doc has been making the film festival circuit for a while, so there are several reviews up on the Web (see here and here. Looks like a DVD view for me down the road. There's also a Q & A from the Toronto film festival from last fall featuring the three guitar guys here.
