PLACEBO – “This Search for Meaning”
The magic of being different
PLACEBO
“This Search for Meaning”
Blue-Ray (SO Recordings)
Release: October 03, 2025
As outsiders, Placebo create their own world. In their documentary, they touch us with their profundity and humanity. Alongside tributes to artists such as Shirley Manson and Yungblud, you are immersed in exclusive live performances. At the time of their breakthrough, the band was very young. Ruthless recordings reveal a drug and alcohol addiction that becomes a coping valve. You follow their search for identity. David Bowie noticeably shapes their career. When Brian Molko talks about his mentor, he struggles to hold back tears. Three post-its still hang on his mirror today: “Be Kind”, “Be Gentle”, “Remember David”.
