“Strange Powers” is about the music of Stephin Merritt, a composer, musician, writer and, with his band, The Magnetic Fields, performer. It was filmed over 11 years. Thankfully, the 300 hours of footage was successfully boiled down to 82 minutes.
Still, over the course of those11 years, the Magnetic Fields emerged from underground band to popular success. The group continues to tour and release records successfully -- though the press materials goes a tad over board when it compares Merritt to Cole Porter.
