I think Duran Duran themselves are rather surprised they lasted this long, despite changes in personnel and various Taylor's leaving or getting fired at some stage.
Now older, wiser, fatter and no longer needing to deal with screaming teenage girls, four of the band members (Andy Taylor is missing) talk about their career and influences in a self deprecating manner. The band started in Hollywood, Birmingham in the late 1970s. Their first lead singer, Stephen 'Tin Tin' Duffy is skipped over.
In the early 1980s with the advent of New Romantics, the bands' expensive and extravagant videos shot in exotic locations got them a female fan base who would overlook Simon Le Bon's stretched vocals and copy Nick Rhodes makeup style. The video for 'Girls on Film' also got them everlasting thanks from teenage boys!
Some celebrity fans deconstruct their music. Nile Rodgers was an early collaborator in the mid 1980s bringing a funky sound to their music. Mark Ronson goes through some of their musical styles. He tells the audience rather convincingly that a few of their songs could easily pass as being from The Killers. I have no idea what Cindy Crawford was doing here though.
It is not a comprehensive documentary. The band proved they were survivors when they had the hit single 'Ordinary World' in the early 1990s and Le Bon by then was openly advocating a more progressive politics, foreshadowing the new Labour era, despite living as tax exiles in the 1980s. The documentary wisely ignores the band's horrendous cover version of 'White Lines.' If ever there was a criminal record, this was it.
