that movie is a bunch of bollocks, a side from great commentary and some even greater footage (like some pre-rasta bad brains show) it's fucking bullshit. they just said that "no wave" was a representation of the ultimate punk and just gave a quick mention to the bands involved, mostly concentrating on the time james chance beat up legs mcneil, forgot to mention that branca went on to be a composer then hardcore as being violent crap with some sprks of good things, they didn't even got to use appropriate agnostic front footage (used one video from their 90's reunion), didn't mention the germs, didn't mention fear, almost didn't mention black flag and then wham sonic youth as a pit stop to NIRVANA!!!!
of course, how much time can you devoter after spending almost half the movie retelling the tale of the sex pistols and how revolutionary were the clash because they started adding reggae to punk and devoting something like 10 minutes to chrissy hinde talking about how cool she is.
read american hardcore and our band could be your life instead.
