The Filth and the Fury
2000 · TMDB 6.9
Directed by Julien Temple
Julien Temple's second documentary profiling punk rock pioneers the Sex Pistols is an enlightening, entertaining trip back to a time when the punk movement was just discovering itself. Featuring archival footage, never-before-seen performances, rehearsals, and recording sessions as well as interviews with group members who lived to tell the tale--including the one and only John Lydon (aka Johnny Rotten).
Why it matters
Julien Temple's second film about the Sex Pistols gives the band members themselves the chance to tell their story, often in silhouette to protect their identities. It is a funny, bitter and surprisingly moving account of fame, farce and betrayal.
