Instrument (1999)★ 8.1/10

A companion manifesto pieced together from archival footage taken by a documentarian who spent a decade embedded with the legendary post-hardcore quartet. Chiefly a video collage, it's a sometimes ambient, sometimes cacophonous distillation of the band's rigid adherence to the guiding principles it lived by from its inception until its so-called "indefinite hiatus" in 2002. Eluding mainstream success very much on purpose while influencing the culture of truly independent music along the way, Fugazi's dedication to their craft has never been showcased better before or since this film's release. For the diehards only, ice-cream-eating motherfuckers can fetch their refunds at the door.
