THE SEX PISTOLS were in existence for only 26
months and recorded only one album, yet they
changed the face of music forever. THE FILTH AND
THE FURY, a film by Julien Temple, is an
irreverent, intimate and shocking portrait of
arguably the most influential and certainly the
most notorious rock group of all time. It
documents the story of THE SEX PISTOLS, charting
their rise from the litter-stacked back-streets of
æ70s London through their crucifixion by the
British tabloids and ultimate implosion tour in
America. Painted against the political, economic
and cultural backdrop of London in the mid-'70s,
the film depicts what was to become a key
transitional moment in English social history.
Culled primarily from the band's own 20-hour-plus
archive of never before seen footage, THE FILTH
AND THE FURY captures the very essence of the punk
movement.
