THE POLICE - Blu-ray - Can't Stand Losing You: Surviving The Police - film - documentary - untold story by Andy Summers

This Blu-ray has only been released in The Netherlands! You won't find it anywhere else!

Can’t Stand Losing You: Surviving the Police, the film is based on Andy Summers' autobiography "One Train Later". The film gives a rare inside look at The Police. It takes you on a musical journey following Andy’s career from band to band until the creation of The Police and includes newly shot concert footage and exclusive interviews with the band on their worldwide 2007/2008 tour.

Based on "One Train Later," the critically acclaimed memoir by world-renowned guitarist Andy Summers, "Can’t Stand Losing You - Surviving The Police" follows Andy's life from his early days in the London music scene to his chance encounter with drummer Stewart Copeland and bassist Sting, which led to the ascendancy of the band The Police. After parting ways in the early 1980s, the band reunites for a massive world tour in 2007. Utilizing rare archival footage chronicling Andy's career and exclusive behind the scenes and concert footage from The Police's reunion tour, "Can't Stand Losing You" weaves together the past and present to explore a life devoted to music.

If you think you have heard every last word on the Police you are wrong. The 79-minute film bounces between the Police’s 2007-08 reunion tour and a biography of the band’s guitarist Andy Summers (the narration and historical pieces are based on his memoir, One Train Later). Including shots of the guitarist at his home, as well as archival footage of him from way back in the day when he was in Eric Burdon’s band in the early 70s and even before.

This film, which began production in 2006, has a lot of never-seen-before footage from MTV’s vault, plus photos taken by Summers himself. The guitarist says his love of playing music and taking pictures were in equal measure by the time the Police were at their highest point of fame and disgust with one another.

Unlike Everyone Stares: The Police Inside And Out, Stewart Copeland’s drum-riser POV flick, Can’t Stand Losing You is much more cohesive. You found yourself taken with those moments (rare though they were), like when you see the three members of the Police huddled close during the reunion to talk over a musical detail — one of them would reach out to pat the another on the back. Even if you’re not a Police fan, Can’t Stand Losing You is an entertaining and insightful film.
