Eddie and the Cruisers

Jonas Mekas meets Detroit with a drumstick in hand. A late-night journalist digs into a half-forgotten garage-rock ghost legend and the master tapes that vanished the same night the band did. The quest itself becomes a sun-bleached road movie about music that never quite died.
