Songs About Fucking

Marc Rebillet is a lot of things. He’s a musician, a comedian, an artist, and some even say an innovator. Known for his improvised shows and signature tight boxers, he’s certainly someone you can’t put into a neat label. However, as this documentary, Songs About Fucking, proves, he wouldn’t have it any other way. Director James Gallagher takes audiences into Rebillet’s world; it’s wild, contemplative, and everything in between. Centering around his 2021 “Third Dose Tour,” the electronic raconteur retraces his steps from his humble Texas upbringing to performing at some of the nation’s biggest festivals. At the film’s core is a story about how his embrace of absurdity has cultivated a passionate community. From his closest friends to the followers he’s amassed through Twitch streams to a superfan who inadvertently kickstarted his career, Songs About Fucking is more than an artist’s road documentary. It’s a reminder that instead of fearing the unpredictable, we might be better off embracing it. (Tribeca Film Festival)
