Sony Pictures Classics has released the official trailer and poster for their upcoming documentary LAMBERT & STAMP, about THE WHO and their visionary managers Kit Lambert and Chris Stamp. The film opens in NY and LA on April 3rd and expands nationally in the following weeks.

The film had its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival. In his review, Rob Nelson (Variety) wrote, “James D. Cooper’s impeccably directed debut is a definitive screen bio of the Who and its-rock operatic rise.”

“Cooper tells a full-bodied story in this fast-paced two hours, harnessing the chaotic energy of two men who generated a whirl of unconventional ideas and strategies,” stated David Rooney (THR).

LAMBERT & STAMP tells the remarkable story of Chris Stamp and Kit Lambert, aspiring filmmakers from opposite sides of the tracks who set out to find a subject for their underground movie, leading them to discover, mentor and manage the iconic band that would become known as The Who.

LAMBERT & STAMP is charged with a mad concoction of noise, love, rebellion, artistry, and hilarity. Starring Chris Stamp and Kit Lambert, featuring Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend, director James D.  Cooper takes us along on the surprising ride of two men who shaped one of the most exciting bands of all time and a universal search examining the sensitive and frightening bonds that make it possible to create.
