The Filth And The Fury – A Sex Pistols Film [DVD]

Julien Temple directs this documentary profile of the Sex Pistols – Johnny Rotten (ne Lydon), Glen Matlock, Paul Jones, Steve Cook and Sid Vicious – the punk band who shocked the world both with their music and their off-stage antics in the latter half of the 1970s. Including much never-before-seen material from the band members’ personal archives, this film debunks many of the myths which have grown up around the Pistols, allowing them to tell their story their own way – free from the influence of controversial former manager Malcolm McLaren.Synopsis

The Filth And The Fury [2000] is Julien Temple’s second documentary profiling punk rock pioneers “The Sex Pistols”. An enlightening, entertaining trip back to a time when the punk movement was just discovering itself, the documentary features 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). The Filth And The Fury is a relevant viewing experience for those unfamiliar with the band; for fans, it’s mandatory viewing!
