Kill Your Idols (2006)

Nostalgia ain’t what it tolerant of to be, according to both young and old musicians in S.A. Crary’s “Kill Your Idols.” Niftily edited docu reps a look underwrite at Gotham’s early-’80s No Wave landscape, recollected by such essential performers as Lydia Lunch, Sonic Youth and Swans, followed by a snapshot of their heirs, the latest crop of hep naive bands including the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, A.R.E. Weapons and Gogol Bordello. Pic doesn’t have the crossover appeal of recent music-themed docus like “Metallica: Some Well-wishing of Demon,” but could remark worshippers as a micro-niche release.

Original interviews by the outspoken No Wavers, still full of piss and vinegar, are supplemented by vintage concert footage shot by Richard Kern and others. “We were just trying to be monsters,” says Suicide’s Martin Rev, remembering the time’s dissonant vibe. Younger artists featured come across as less politically engaged or savvy, apart from the articulate Eugene Hutz of Gogol Bordello. The oldies diss the youngsters; the youngsters diss each other; everyone disses the Strokes. Pic leaves a curiously sour aftertaste, though tech credits are polished.
