The concert film's long been a directorial rite of passage (see Scorsese's The Last Waltz or Demme's Stop Making Sense—immediately, if possible). Now eighties art star and confirmed pajama fan Julian Schnabel is taking his turn with Lou Reed's Berlin, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival. The flick, out today in New York and L.A., chronicles Reed's 2006 performance of his 1973 album—which he had never played live before—over a few dates at St. Ann's Church in Brooklyn. Bonus: Reed's in top form, and Velvets fans should take note—the encore includes renditions of "Candy Says" (with backing vocals from Antony Hegarty) and "Sweet Jane."
