The Decline Of Western Civilization

The Decline Of Western Civilization, Penelope Spheeris, 1981, USA, 100’, OV with spanish subtitles. DCP.

This is the punk film par excellence, a classic, the portrait by the documentary maker Penelope Spheeris on the punk scene of Los Angeles at the end of the 70s and portrait, by extension, of young people thrown into the abyss and electricity: fights, shouting, spitting, vacant stares, punches, dilated pupils...Finally, a musical in the cycle, this is pure atomic age ready to explode.
