Offenbach - Tabarnac (1974 documentary film)


The great Canadian rock band Offenbach are one of my faves!! i really dig the early 70's stuff they did.This documentary had come to my attention sometime in around 1996 and i had only glimpsed at a few parts and had never seen the whole presentation! I recently found it on youtube and finally got to see every bit of it.Well i guess i should start off by saying if you are not french you probably wont understand a word being said in this film.But it still shouldn't stop you from enjoying this documentary on rock music! from the beginning of the movie it starts off with the band rocking out and not much talking goes on in the first part of the film.The whole thing is basically just them having a party smoking hash and drinking beer being loud at all times even when off the stage.It seems even without instruments they would always find ways of making music with just their mouths and banging on stuff,setting cars on fire and not giving a damn.Overall this is a very good 70's documentary that will make you laugh and cry and maybe even shit your pants.Either way its worth seeing at least one time if you are french and were into the band! one thing for sure the band sure knew how to party!!!
