'Road Diary,' the new documentary following Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band on tour, plumbs unavoidable questions like mortality. Director Thom Zimny teases the film.
with over seven years of experience in the entertainment industry. An award-winning journalist, she's written for Turner Classic Movies,, and more. She's worked at EW for six years covering film, TV, theater, music, and books. The author of EW's quarterly romance review column, "Hot Stuff," Maureen holds Master's degrees from both the University of Southern California and the University of Oxford.
That really is a reminder from the Boss, not Zimny. The director says there were never any conversations between him and Springsteen about the themes of the documentary or explicit direction that he mirror the messages of the tour. Instead, it arose organically from the film's subjects."I have no memory of him turning to me and saying, 'This is what I'm trying to do,'" Zimny says.
To do that, Zimny sought to find that "living in the moment" energy via shots of the crowd. "To try to convey the feeling of the spiritual qualities of the experience of the E Street band, I looked at filming it in slow motion and slowing things down so that the viewer could take in things that pass very quickly in real life," he explains. "I really wanted to capture people who were not caring about the camera at all.
