Review of End of the Century: The Story of the Ramones (2003) by Peter A — 12 Apr 2011
1-2-3-4 The cry of Dee Dee Ramone before every 2 minute burst of 3 chord punk brilliance. This is a warts and all documentary of punk progenitors The Ramones. Interviews with the band shows their characters to the full and you wonder how on earth did these 4 misfits ever get together to form a band.
There is even a surreal moment when Linda Cummings, Joey's girfriend who left him for his guitarest Johnny gives an off camera interview about the power struggle within the band. The look of embarrasment on Johnny's face is brilliant.
Great film, great band.
