Ant Muzak
Even cult 80s popstars need to do the shopping... Documentary-style comedy about Adam & The Ants making a charmingly off-kilter trip to their local 24-hour supermarket at 2am on a nondescript weekday morning. Cruising the aisles like some kind of bizarre surrogate family-unit, the flamboyantly dressed band-members are thrown into crisis when one of their 2 drummers suddenly goes missing.
