Review of The Filth and the Fury (2000) by Stephen C — 15 Aug 2016
Outstanding Music doc dealing with the 26 rampant months when The Sex Pistols were abigger threat to the nation than Hyper Inflation.
Julien Temples film concentrates on the Band rather than Malcom McClaren (who here comes across as an awful individual).
Temple also uses clips of News footage of the 70s period to show waht utter Chaos the nation was in when the pistols arrived .
Of all the band in John Lydon who is the most honest an razor sharp be he criticisng the goverment or the manager of the band or indeed Sids descent into Heroin addictiction.
Temple also uses clips of Tommy Cooper ,Norman Wisdom and Even Rod HUll and Emu to show how the Pistols were steeped in the Music Hall Tradition.
Add to this some great music and That Notorious Bill Grundy Interview and you see why the Sex Pistols still matter some 30 years after there implosion.
