 A self-determined device June 4, 1999
2 out of 5 found this review helpful
Since biographical documentaries tend to concentrate on event depiction along a chronological time-line it is hard to categorize this as such... which is perfectly suited to the subject since Fugazi has been just that [hard to categorize] from the moment they formed. For the last 12 years Fugazi has set the standard for what it means to be a self-determined body, existing completely and independently from the music industry. The fact that their music is utterly moving has not hurt them one bit either. Cohen's camera does not try to PORTRAY the band in any particular way. Had that been his approach, this project would have failed. Cohen does not attempt to tell us the story ABOUT the subject. His camera simply LISTENS TO the subject. The fact that he has a wonderful eye for placement and propriety doesn't harm him in the slightest. His assembly of image is not unlike Fugazi's approach to sound. Both are very authoritative with tension, space and overall dynamic... the composition can be loose because the composer can be counted on to make good on his obligations to the others involved... each segment is the model of its' type. Cohen achieved what not many people would have been able to do: represent Fugazi in a manner that complimented the band's philosophy, principles and personality. The beauty of this project is that the filmaker, in rendering a subject that has answered his questions in anthems, produces a psalm of his own.
 Excellent, Inspiring and honest. May 7, 1999

The first music video, that really is a 'music video', Jem Cohen's filming, and Fugazi music go well together. After watching the film, I felt I understood better what the band is, which is pretty simple, they're just a band doing their thing. Many press releases' make out that there something else, but there only band.

This video reminded me of why I love music. Fugazi proves, yet again, that they can put their money where their mouth is and offers us a glimpse into their world of respect, honesty and civic mindedness - not to mention some kick ass music and great concert footage. Thank you, Fugazi, for reaffirming my belief in my fellow man.

Its like hearing Fugazi for the first time again. This film just reinforces everything good about playing music, about giving a sh*t, about wanting to move people and to be moved by music. What a beacon, a reminder...
