Music films somehow always manage find an audience, despite their water droplet existence amidst the endless sea of superhero movies, sequels and remakes these days. On the punk end of the spectrum,
SLC Punk and
Riding in Vans with Boys often come to mind as widely regarded near-perfect visualized staples of the genre, regardless of their usual juvenile, hyperbolized nature. When I first learned of
Filmage, a colorful documentary on the history of pop punk legends, Descendents, I thought, if handled properly, it could certainly find its place among these preeminent fundamentals, and after a serendipitous (and crowded) screening a few miles down the road at Motorco in Durham, N.C.,
all (har har) of my hopes were handily confirmed.
