DVD contains 2 hours of bonus footage including live performances remastered for the DVD! \\\\ Permanent Collection - NY Museum of Modern Art //// "Heaven-sent narrative! If universities ever start graduate programs in rock stardom, 'Dig!' will surely be a cornerstone of the curriculum." A.O. Scott, New York Times || "The best film about musicians and the music industry in years." Alexis Petridis, The Guardian || "Fascinating! A combustible rock chronicle. The richly deserving winner of the Documentary Grand Jury Prize at Sundance." Darren D'Addario, Time Out New York || "Terrific and fascinating! 'Dig' is chock full of drama yet too sympathetic to seem exploitative." Dennis Harvey, Variety || "A viciously sharp essay on art, commerce, friendship and madness." Ty Burr, The Boston Globe || "Powerful! Transcends the rock-doc genre." Andrew Strickman, Rolling Stone ||  "Salieri and Mozart?" Pater Keough, The Boston Phoenix || "Painfully hilarious! Like a spectacular roadside accident, you can't turn turn your head away." David Ansen, Newsweek || Featured on Entertainment Weekly's MUST List, and rated A- in their feature review //// Check us out: www.digthemovie.com
