Overview

The rise to fame (and the near-fatal fall from it) of Patty Schemel, drummer for Courtney Love’s seminal rock band, Hole. Given a Hi-8 video camera just before Hole’s infamous Live Through This world tour, Patty captured stunningly intimate footage of the scene that has never been seen… until now. Not just an all-access backstage pass to the music that shaped a generation, Hit So Hard is a harrowing tale of overnight success, the cost of addiction, and ultimately, recovery and redemption.

Length 103 minutes

Viewing Notes

Nice documentary about the drummer from Hole and all of her troubles with drugs and coming out in the early to mid-ninties. Some interesting behind-the-scenes footage from her camera while on tour and some candid interviews with friends and bandmates.

Also, never realized how cute the second bass player for Hole is. Nice.
