#36: The Filth and the Fury



The Filth and the Fury: A film about the career of the notorious punk rock band, the Sex Pistols.

There's nothing in this flick that anyone who is a fan of The Pistol's doesn't already know but it is a decent overview of the band's short lived career. The areas where John Lydon talk about Sid Vicious get pretty intense with the singer breaking down at one point over his guilt about Sid's death. It's nice to see this side of the otherwise dickish Lydon come out. It also features some really good live footage and, at least to my knowledge, a previously unseen Sid Vicious interview with Julien Temple.
