Brief Review |

"For all its distortions and lapses, 'The Filth and the Fury' is an exciting, innovative film, made with a formal rigor all but unknown in its genre. One can pay it no greater compliment than to say that it is worthy of its subject." more... |

"It's tempting to say that Julien Temple's exhilarating documentary, 'The Filth and the Fury,' traces the rise and fall of the Sex Pistols. But the Pistols, who were easily the fiercest, funniest band in the history of snotty dispossession, never managed to fall." more... |

"Surprisingly passionate documentary portrait of the rise and fall of the Sex Pistols from the director of 'The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle.'" more... |
