End Of The Century: The Story of the Ramones (2003) (re)

About the film

In 1974, the New York City music scene was shocked into consciousness by the violently new and raw sound of a band of misfits from Queens called The Ramones. Playing in a seedy Bowery bar to a small group of fellow struggling musicians, the band struck a chord of disharmony that rocked the foundation of the mid-seventies music scene. This quartet of unlikely rock stars traveled across the country and around the world connecting with the disenfranchised everywhere, while sparking a movement that would resonate with two generations of outcasts across the globe. Although the band never reached the top of the Billboard charts, they managed to endure by maintaining a rigorous touring schedule for twenty-two years. 4K Re-release.

From a Bowery bar to 22 years on the road, the Ramones’ story returns to theaters in a new 4K restoration. Jim Fields and Michael Gramaglia’s documentary traces the Queens band’s rise, internal conflicts and lasting punk legacy.
