Scumrock

Now, this is not a good film in the same way that, say, The Godfather may be. Nor is it funny in a way you'd might expect. It's honest. Plain and simple. It makes little compromise, and that's why I love it so much. Moritsugu is possibly one of the best underground directors out there...

True, he reverts back to the scuzzy, punk-and-roll films he made early on in his career. Yet in ways, he takes bold new steps in a different direction completely. This is no Terminal USA. This movie is mature, and at times, it has a lot of heart. The plot is intentionally stingy and hard to follow early on, constantly jumping back and forth. However, its short segments only reflect the music it pays homage to. The characters are believable and well-acted. The score is totally rockin'. This is a movie you're gonna wanna watch more than once... and maybe even more than twice.

Hell, I've seen it four times!
