Gimme Danger
54th New York Film Festival
September 30 - 11, 2016
Jim Jarmusch’s cinematic offering to the punk gods of Ann Arbor, Iggy and the Stooges, traces the always raucous and frequently calamitous history of the band from inception to the present, and recreates the feeling of a night at Max’s Kansas City.
“Music is life and life is not a business,” said Iggy Pop when he and his surviving bandmates from The Stooges were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010. Jim Jarmusch’s cinematic offering to the punk gods of Ann Arbor traces the always raucous and frequently calamitous history of the Stooges from inception to the present. With the help of animator James Kerr, plus glimpses of Lucille Ball and a shirtless Yul Brynner amidst a bonanza of archival performance footage, photos, and interviews, Gimme Danger has the feeling of a night at Max’s Kansas City. An Amazon Studios and Magnolia Pictures release.
As fun as it is illuminating. A witty, wildly affectionate tribute.
—David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
Essential viewing for Stooges fans.
—Nikola Grozdanovik, The Playlist
An exciting testament to the survival power of the Stooges’ music.
—Jonathan Romney, Screen Daily
A compelling and detailed diary of everything that made the Stooges what they were.
