Do It Again (film)

Do It Again is a 2010 documentary film directed by Robert PattonSpruill and produced by Boston Globe reporter Geoff Edgers. The film follows Edgers on his quest to reunite British rock band The Kinks. Along the way he interviews several musicians and celebrities including Sting, Zooey Deschanel, and Clive Davis, discussing with them the bands music and influence, as well as their sentiments towards a potential Kinks reunion. Shooting for Do It Again began in the spring of 2008, and it made its debut at the Rotterdam International Film Festival in January 2010. Do It Again showed at several film festivals around the world throughout 2010, and was picked up for broadcast on public television in late 2011.

Edgers eventually travels to London in an attempt to bring together The Kinks original lineup the Davies brothers, Pete Quaife, and Mick Avory. Edgers interviews Avory and visits the annual Kinks fan club convention at the Boston Arms pub, where he talks to former drummer Bob Henrit. Ray Davies makes a surprise visit at the convention. He refuses to give an interview to Edgers and requests that the crew not film his performance with The Kast Off Kinks.Later, Edgers is informed that Dave Davies is willing to grant an interview. They meet at an undisclosed location outside London and discuss Daves relationship with his brother. Dave comments that I think Ray was probably happy ... for a whole three years in his life, and that was from the age of zero to three, when I wasnt there, and I think I kind of rained on his parade a bit ... I think sadly, it never went away. At the end of the conversation, Edgers and Davies play the song Strangers together. He then returns home to Boston. As the credits roll, Edgers and a classroom of children sing Weird Al Yankovics parody of The Kinks 1970 hit Lola. ........
