Synopsis
Avicii: True Stories (2017) is a Swedish music documentary you can watch online on iFILM. Director Levan Tsikurishvili spent years alongside Tim Bergling — not to make a promo reel, but to capture what the stadium lights couldn't show.
By the mid-2010s, Tim was filling arenas worldwide, collaborating with David Guetta, Tiësto, Chris Martin, Nile Rodgers, and Madonna. Wyclef Jean, Aloe Blacc and Barack Obama all appear on camera, each offering a different angle on the man behind the music. What the film quietly builds toward is the weight of that schedule: relentless touring, deteriorating health, and a growing disconnect between who Tim was and what the industry needed him to be. His retirement from live performance in 2016 shocked the electronic music world.
At 97 minutes, this is one of the more unguarded portraits of a pop-music career in recent documentary filmmaking — less a celebration, more an honest accounting. Stream Avicii: True Stories online on iFILM.
