Description

[Machine Translation] [King Records Rock Movie Classics Vol. 2] From Damned to Journey! Long-awaited reissue of music documentaries at an affordable price! 15 carefully selected films that rock lovers can't afford to miss! Seventeen years after The Decline and ten years after The Metal Years, director Penelope Spheeris returns to the Los Angeles music scene with her third documentary on the "decline of Western civilization. This film depicts the hardcore/punk scene of the 90s as depicted in "The Decline," a departure from the LA metal of the previous film, and shows not the bands and musicians who succeeded, but the young people who lived the mentality of the first film, and how their mentality and lifestyle have since gone underground to the ultimate level. The film focuses on the punks who ended up in the underground, the gutter punks who illegally lived in abandoned houses, loved beer, and dropped out of society altogether. They are the ones who have lost all sense of self, society, parental abuse, persecution by capitalist society, police violence, alienation, poverty, and hopelessness. Gutter punks find the meaning of life only in punk rock, and they live their lives by forming new families with others in the same situation and supporting each other. NAKED AGGRESSION played "Death to the Pigs (Cops)" and the gutter punks, Hamburger, asked for coins on the street. 1981's "The Decline" exploded an aggression against the stereotypes and captured the epicenter and moment when new music and values were born. In 1983, Penelope Spheeris made a film about punks in the world of The Decline, Rebel Punk Rock (original title: SUBURBIA), which depicted the life of gutter punks hanging out on the streets. This film shows the real world of the movie. The film focuses more on the people who live in the hardcore/punk scene than on the music itself, capturing the harsh ecology of the extremes to which it has led. The entire film is filled with doom, decadence, and despair. After screening the film at several film festivals, the film went through a series of distribution attempts, but all companies demanded that the rights to the first and second films be transferred in order to distribute the film, which they refused, and the film was never distributed on a commercial basis. The film has never been seen by almost anyone.

ザ・デクラインIII [廉価版] / 洋画

[キングレコード・ロックムービー・クラシックス第二弾] ダムドからジャーニーまで! 音楽ドキュメンタリー映画の数々がお求めやすい価格で待望のリイシュー! ロック好きは、観て絶対に損は無い厳選の15作品!! 一作目『ザ・デクライン』から17年、前作『ザ・メタルイヤーズ』から10年、ペネロープ・スフィーリス監督がみたびロサンゼルスの音楽シーンを切り取った"西洋文明の衰退"ドキュメンタリー第3弾。前作のLAメタルから一転、『ザ・デクライン』で描かれたハードコア/パンクの90年代の姿をとらえた本作は、成功をおさめたバンドやミュージシャンではなく、一作目のメンタリティに生きる若者たちのその後の行く末、精神性とライフスタイルが究極のアンダーグラウンドに行き着いたパンクス、廃屋に不法に棲みつきビールをこよなく愛し社会を完全脱落したガター・パンクスに焦点を当てる。社会に対する怒り、親からの虐待、資本主義社会からの迫害、警察からの暴力、疎外感、貧困、絶望。ガター・パンクスたちはパンクロックにのみ生きる意味を見出し、同じ境遇の仲間とともに新たな家族を形成して支え合いながらその日を生きる。その人生に目的は一切ない。NAKED AGGRESSIONは「ブタ(警官)どもに死を」を演奏し、ガター・パンクスのハンバーガーは路上で小銭をせびる。1981年の『ザ・デクライン』は既成概念へのアグレッションを爆発させ、新たな音楽、価値観の生まれるその震源地とその瞬間をとらえた。1983年、ペネロープ・スフィーリス監督は『ザ・デクライン』の世界に生きるパンクスを題材にした劇映画『反逆のパンク・ロック』 (原題: SUBURBIA)を発表、そこに描かれたのが路上にたむろするガター・パンクスの生態だった。本作ではその劇映画の世界の現実の様子が映されている。音楽そのものよりもハードコア/パンクに生きる人々にスポットを当て、その極端さが行き着いた厳しい生態をとらえる。映画全篇に満ちているのは破滅と退廃と絶望である。幾度かの映画祭での上映後、ディストリビューションを得るための営業を行うも、すべての会社から本作を配給する上で一作目および二作目の権利譲渡を条件に求められ、断ったことにより一度も商業ベースの配給がなされることなく終わった。本作はほぼ誰も観たことのない映画である。
映像特典: インタビュー映像ロングバージョン (フリー、キース・モリス、レナード・フィリップス/THE DICKIES、リック・ワイルダー、白電球パンクス)、「ザ・デクラインIII」エクストラ (初公開映像、ガターパンクス、LAミュージアムでのパネルディスカッション、プレミア上映時映像、サンダンス映画祭監督インタビュー)
