Placebo Subject Of Rockumentary ‘This Search For Meaning’; Abramorama Acquires WW Rights, Details Revealed


The Brit band will be interviewed alongside talking heads such as Shirley Manson, Yungblud and Robbie Williams.

Abramorama has acquired worldwide distribution rights to the feature-length movie, which is described as an “intimate film exploring the ideas that inhabit the lyrics and subject matter of Placebo’s songs, whilst charting their evolution as a group and as human beings”. Since emerging in the 1990s with provocative songs such as Nancy Boy and Bruise Pristine, Placebo forged a unique path through the ‘Britpop’ scene exploring gender, identity, addiction, human rights and the corruption of those in power. Among talking heads are Shirley Manson (Garbage), Robbie Williams, Yungblud, Rebecca Lucy Taylor (Self Esteem), Joe Talbot (IDLES) and artist Stuart Semple.
