Documentary film update:

  • “I Am Trying to Break Your Heart” is an excellent film about the recording of Wilco’s fourth album, “Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.”
  • “Sunshine Hotel” is a deeply depressing look at one of the last flop houses on New York’s Bowery.
  • “Grateful Dawg” is a fascinating film about the music Jerry Garcia and David Grisman created together.
