`The Kinks` to be captured in a movie

The story of legendary British Rock band `The Kinks` is set to be told with a movie about the group`s rise to fame on the cards.

London: The story of legendary British Rock band `The Kinks` is set to be told on the big screen with a movie about the group`s rise to fame on the cards.The film, titled `You Really Got Me`, will be directed by Julien Temple, who is best known for his documentary on the group `Sex Pistols` called `The Filth and the Fury`.
The movie will tell the story of the turbulent relationship between `The Kinks` brothers Ray and Dave Davies, ScreenDaily reported.
"At the heart of it is the extraordinary love/hate relationship between these two brothers: love/hate, sibling rivalry is at the core," Temple said. Categorised in the United States as a `British Invasion band`, The Kinks formed in 1964 have been cited as one of the most important and influential rock acts of the era. "I think it`s a very rich social, cultural nexus around The Kinks. Their story is the untold story of all those big bands of the 1960s," he added. The band famed for songs and concept albums reflecting the English culture of the period broke up in 1996 due to the creative tension between the Davies brothers. PTI
