Longtime DepecheMode director Anton Corbijn talked about the group's intimate new concert film, 'Spirits in the Forest.'
.” Instead, the director shifts the spotlight to six fans, whose personal stories are woven throughout footage from the final night of band’s Global Spirit Tour in Berlin. Originally, the Dutch director simply wanted to create a document of his stage design for the tour, but the band felt that there needed to be a more impactful reason for the film and took inspiration from Chris Hegedus and D.A. Pennebaker 1989 endeavor on the group, “101.”. “[This] was initially very narcissistic for me.
“Before you come to the concert you first have all the individual lives and reason why they feel they connect so much to the music of Depeche Mode,” Corbijn notes. “The depth of dedication for Depeche Mode and what it means in their lives — that was new to me. I don’t see that so much with a lot of other bands. There’s a sense that Depeche Mode is still a kind of cult club that you can become a member of. It’s not open to everyone. That’s what, I think, brings them together.
“You feel much closer to the people on stage,” Corbijn explains of the approach. “You feel much more how they feel than if you do it just perfect and looking good. I think you really get a sense of what it is to be Dave [frontman David Gahan] on stage. You get very close to him, I think.” “I am constantly amazed by the incredible stadium shows that perform, 40 years into their career. The love and devotion of their fans is testament to the band always communicating their craft so beautifully.
