Instrument is a documentary film directed by Jem Cohen about the band Fugazi. Cohen's relationship with band member Ian MacKaye extends back to the 1970s when the two met in high school in Washington, D.C.. The film takes its title from the Fugazi song of the same name, from their 1993 album, In on the Kill Taker. Editing of the film was done by both Cohen and the members of the band over the course of five years. It was shot from 1987 through 1998 on super 8, 16mm and video and is composed mainly of footage of concerts, interviews with the band members, practices, tours and time spent in the studio recording their 1995 album, Red Medicine. The film also includes portraits of fans as well as interviews with them at various Fugazi shows around the United States throughout the years.

何種類も売り出されたシリーズが映画自体として「中毒」を招くだけでなく、関連商品購入も「中毒」になって生活も壊れた(それでも満足している)人々が出てくる。 特に、旧3部作に比べ新3部作への失望が、多くの出演者の共通の不満となっている。エピソード1を観ただけでその後の作品は観てないという人も多い。絶対的な悪役の不在が新シリーズの欠点で、その悪役がルーカスになってしまったという人も出てくる。 最大の非難は、唯一のフルCGキャラクターであるジャー・ジャー・ビンクスに向けられる。不満から私家版の『スターウォーズ』を作った多くの人々も取り上げられる。 最初の公式なスピンオフの一つだった「ホリディ・スペシャル」(Star Wars Holiday Special)もまた批判の的となる(映像はその後公開されていない)。これは チューバッカが故郷に帰る話だった。
Before Bad Brains, the Sex Pistols or even the Ramones, there was Death. Formed in the early '70s by three teenage brothers from Detroit, Death is credited as being the first black punk band, and the Hackney brothers, David, Bobby, and Dannis, are now considered pioneers in their field. But it wasn’t until recently — when a dusty 1974 demo tape made its way out of Bobby’s attic nearly 30 years after Death’s heyday — that anyone outside a small group of punk enthusiasts had even heard of them.
No other band in rock'n'roll history has rivaled The Stooges' combination of heavy primal throb, spiked psychedelia, blues-a-billy grind, complete with succinct angst-ridden lyrics, and a snarling, preening leopard of a frontman who somehow embodies Nijinsky, Bruce Lee, Harpo Marx, and Arthur Rimbaud all rolled into one. There is no precedent for The Stooges, while those inspired by them are now legion. The film will present the context of their emergence musically, culturally, politically, historically, and relate their adventures and misadventures while charting their inspirations and the reasons behind their initial commercial challenges, as well as their long-lasting legacy.
