About This Movie

Sheen of Gold is this vibrant documentary that digs deep into the heartbeat of the New Zealand punk scene, centering on the Skeptics. It's got this raw energy, a kind of stylish chaos that mirrors their music. The pacing feels almost like a live set, with quick cuts and bursts of performances that are as electrifying as they are poignant. And then there's the weight of David D'Ath's story, his passing casting a long shadow over everything, giving the whole film an unexpected emotional depth. You can really feel the passion of the filmmakers in how they showcase both the band's legacy and the impact of loss. It's not just a collection of clips, it’s a heartfelt homage that resonates with anyone who appreciates the intricacies of punk history.
