Review of End of the Century: The Story of the Ramones (2003) by Tim L — 15 Dec 2010
Exhaustive, but never exhausting, this is one of the finest (and frankest) rock documentaries I've seen. Littered with interviews with the band themselves and the people that knew them best, this is an honest portrayal of the life of a band through exceptional circumstances. Touching, tragic and hilarious in equal measure, this documentary pulls no punches and doesn't try to present the members of the bands as 'heroes,' but as the talented, yet flawed people they all were.
As you would expect the music is also excellent, and this is a must-see for any fan of rock music in general, and particular the influential early-mid '70's beginnings of the Punk Rock revolution.
