PUNK'S NOT DEAD. Documentary charting the history of punk. Firstly this skips over the whole art punk scene of '77 and gets down and dirty with the American hardcore scene and Dick Lucas from the UK's SUBHUMANS discussing punk rock ethics and ethos. It then follows a fairly well worn path telling the history from an American perspective. What I found most interesting is the relevance today a lot of UK bands from the early 80 UK scene have in America still. Whist the informed will gain nothing new from this film, it at least attempts to tell the punk story from the ground up and from within the still thriving scene.
