Review of Gimme Danger (2016) by Luke E — 29 Jul 2016
Jim Jarmusch the coolest post-modern filmmaker to arise out of the 1980s brings us his unique style to a documentary chronicling the rise and fall of 'The Stooges', am influential rock band associated with the rise of punk music in the early 1970s.
The documentary combines interviews with the surviving band members sharing their hilarious and often heartfelt stories combined with Jarmusch's deadpan style and feeling. While fans of the Stooges will actually have a ball watching this film, for those who aren't that familiar with the band in particular will probably find the style injected into the film's subject matter and story to be incredibly worthwhile.
Overall, it's a funny, entertaining, insightful and evocative documentary put together, definitely essential for Stooges fans, music documentaries and Jim Jarmusch's filmography.
