Parallel Love: The Story of a Band Called Luxury @ 27th Annual Whitaker St. Louis International Film Festival
(Matt Hinton, U.S., 2018, 100 min.)
Parallel Love relates the bizarre story of the band Luxury. The groups four original members including two brothers all attended a small Christian college in Toccao, Ga., in the early 90s, when the band was formed. Despite Luxurys edgy, outré song lyrics, the band ended up signing with Tooth & Nail, a Christian-rock label, and that decision pigeonholed the band and likely denied them a chance at mainstream success despite high critical regard. Parallel Love takes an unexpected turn when its revealed that Luxury and tourmates Piltdown Man were involved in a frightening van accident in 1995 that resulted in serious injuries to the passengers. After a lengthy recovery, the band continued, but their story becomes even stranger in subsequent years, when first one member (bassist Chris Foley) and then another (guitarist Jamey Bozeman) and finally a third (singer Lee Bozeman) become Eastern Orthodox priests. The fourth original member, drummer Glenn Black, doesnt join his bandmates in the priesthood, but his own traumatic life story revealed only later in the film is equally compelling. Director Matt Hinton became the bands fifth member post-crash, so Parallel Love offers a particularly intimate insiders view, and the members especially the sardonic Lee Bozeman prove hyper-articulate raconteurs.
With director/subject Hinton and subject Jeffrey Wickes, assistant professor of Early Christianity at Saint Louis U.
