Suburbia

1983 • dir Penelope Spheeris w/Chris Pedersen, Bill Coyne, Jennifer Clay, Timothy O’Brien, Wade Watson, Flea • 94 min • DCP

The narrative directorial debut of Penelope Spheeris (The Decline of Western Civilization), SUBURBIA will kick your ass. Made after Spheeris’ phenomenal success with Decline, this nuanced look at a patchwork family of punks banded together against their bad parents and authority figures is made even radder by hammering live sets from SoCal hardcore legends D.I. and TSOL.
