MONO‘s “The Sky Remains The Same As Ever” is a nearly two-hour document of the recording sessions for “You Are There”, and the several worldwide tours that followed its release. In addition to the dozen live songs that are documented in all their sweaty fury, the film captures the decidedly less glamorous aspects of being an underground rock band from a foreign country, expressing sentiments through body language out of necessity, and driving…lots and lots of driving. Most effectively, the film displays the friendships that have made MONO’s journeys enjoyable, and the fanatical dedication that has made it all possible.
