What a Jem
Cohen plays Fugazi like an Instrument
The only concession to standard rock docs is also Cohen's only misstep: a scene toward the end of Instrument in which he interviews fans outside a Fugazi show in Knoxville, Tennessee. It comes off as little more than an homage to Heavy Metal Parking Lot, as Cohen asks an assortment of fans why they're at a Fugazi show. It's out of place, especially since only a few of the fans can name even one Fugazi song, and almost all of them claim they don't like the group anymore, if they ever did. The scene deflates the sense of importance that the rest of the film builds, though maybe that is the point. As with all of Cohen's films, you'll have to figure that out for yourself.
