Tells the story of southern Saskatchewan's original punk rocker and his attempts to resurrect his band a decade after their scarcely noticed demise. Years before the Sex Pistols and Hard Core Logo had the same idea.
Top Ten Canadian Shorts of the Nineites Made four years before Hard Core Logo, this story of an aging punk rocker who tries to revive his old band The Sponteneous Abortions is an underrated gem. Featuring a superb deadpan performance by Michael Burns, Quinn has a melancholic charm that sums up a lost generation. Watch for filmmaker Alan Zweig in the cast of characters.—By Dave Barber, Cinemascope Winter 2000, Issue 2
