Trailer for Bruce McDonald’s Hard Core Logo starts easy enough. You get a minute of faux-Rattle and Hum band life in slow motion, with the obligatory dreamy/moody voiceovers. Then you get to that ’90s staple, the fasterfasterfaster montage of random shots. And then, well, you die.
Final title card notwithstanding, it looks like it tries to disguise the film’s mockumentary nature (whose own volatile, in-your-face approach becomes very aggressive past the 50-minute mark). But it might just be a sendup of the rock documentary as a genre.
Still, the online love surrounding HCL made it essential viewing for many - and it’s been hard to find for a looooong time, thanks to Quentin Tarantino acting like Daddy Champion Of the Film and then never bothering to give it a proper release. God bless Amazon.ca.
Random wisdom from YouTube commentators: “i forgot about this movie!”
