Far beyond the reputation of one of the most unpredictable and iconoclastic bands in the history of American rock, “The Hole Truth and Nothing Butt” plunges into the chaotic, irreverent and deeply radical world of the Butthole Surfers. Drawing on archival footage, animation and interviews conducted by a longtime collaborator of the band, the film traces a journey marked by excess, humour, conflict and relentless experimentation. Without attempting to tame the chaos that always defined the band, it also reveals the deeply human side of a group for whom creative freedom was the only rule.
