Kill Your Idols, Scott Crary, 2004

Crary's workmanlike documentary arranges an impressive array of archival footage and talking head interviews to evoke the climate of No Wave NYC, circa 1982. The film is somewhat less successful, though, in tracing the links between, or even contrasting, the downtown of Glenn Branca, Sonic Youth, Lydia Lunch, and Swans to the tangentially related post-Strokes scene of the early aughts.
