The Cure Out Of The Woods Part 4 of 7

Esteemed as the only real survivors from the post-punk era, for more than a quarter of a century The Cure have presented the bizarre perspectives and nightmare mental landscapes of mainstay Robert Smith to a devoted universal following. This documentary traces the band's turbulent history, from teenage jam sessions through successive incarnations as punks, goths and MTV darlings, before moving on to their more recent role as the elder statesmen of misery --the inspiration for a whole new generation of bands. 'Out Of The Woods' goes behind the scenes and under the greasepaint to discover the truth about this astonishing band. It reveals how these performers of melancholy music achieved success, how they've continued to be at the cutting edge of innovative music for more than 35 years and why they remain hugely relevant in today's fickle music industry. The film features rare interviews with band members and includes revelations from those luminaries who know them best, including Steven Severin, Paul Morley, Janice Long and Steve Lyon.
