Not having seen anything but a still from the film, I hardly feel qualified to critically comment on it, so I won't, but I own the Fugazi and Benjamin Smoke DVD's, (also by Mr. Cohen), and am a huge fan of the EX, whom I feel are, if not the best rock band these days, certainly my favorites. I have seen them quite a number of times, and never left the venues with anything less than an exhilarated, glorious feeling of positive goodwill.
I have been waiting for the release of this film for several years now, ever since I heard it existed. I will be buying it sight unseen from the first legitimate vendor who will sell it to me, and showing it to any and all who have had to put up with my ranting and raving about the EX for these last 8 years since I moved to a geographic locale not frequented by the EX on their tours.
As regarding the Fugazi film (INSTRUMENT) it is simply a superior piece of rock documentary, and Benjamin Smoke (whom I met, here in Atlanta, lo these many years ago), has a personal, as well as an artistic resonance, to my wife and myself. So, Mr. Poodles' comments certainly seem at odds with my expectations, but we apparently have different tastes and perspectives about art and music. (Jazz with screwdrivers? Count me in!)
Both Mr. Cohen and the EX have distinguished themselves in a superior manner as far as I'm concerned, and here's to the benefit of the doubt.
