Live at Zócalo documents Interpol’s biggest show to date: 160,000 fans in Mexico City’s Zócalo square on 20th April 2024. Directed by Bartleberry Logan, the film focuses less on the spectacle and more on the band’s connection with their audience.
For a group often associated with cool detachment, the film reveals moments of warmth and intensity – glimpses backstage, close-ups of shared glances, and the hypnotic sway of the crowd. As a celebration of Antics’ 20th anniversary, Live at Zócalo feels less like nostalgia and more like a statement of where Interpol are now: still sharp, still essential.
