Lech Kowalski's 2003 documentary feature about the life and times of Ramones bassist and all-star burnout Dee Dee Ramone (1952-2002) is a fascinating character study of a punk rock legend. In 1992, Dee Dee Ramone met with director Lech Kowalski to discuss Johnny Thunders for the film Born to Lose (the last rock and roll movie). The session took on a life of its own as Dee Dee transformed into a punk Lenny Bruce and recounted his most poignant memories of copping drugs, forming bands, losting friends and lovers and getting tattoos. Relive the battlefield history of rock 'n' roll through the memories of this ordinary yet extraordinary guy from Queens whose songs distilled frustration, humor and pleasure into the energetic melodies that made the Ramones a worldwide influence.
"Dee Dee Ramone looked like a Francis Bacon portrait (...) the film conveyed a powerful sense that here was a life lived to its creative, destructive full." -The Telegraph, London
