Kudos to writer-director Antonino D'Ambrosio for taking such an eclectic and disparate number of aims, thoughts, subjects and mediums and creating the smart and inspiring - and uniquely whole -documentary that is Let Fury Have the Hour. Read full review

The film joyfully surveys the evolution of a politically informed artistic movement, set to a soundtrack that includes MC5, Rage Against the Machine, DJ Spooky, and others. Read full review

A curiously warm-and-fuzzy hindsight interpretation of artistic aggression, delivered by the artists themselves. Read full review

Kenji Fujishima

Dec 10, 2012

On a political level, the film is far from a Godardian dialectic, so the view of history that emerges is, to say the least, blinkered. Read full review
