		In "The Filth and the Fury," a hard-edged new documentary about the Pistols, we see a Top 10 chart with a blank space for No. 1.
		They were hated by the establishment, shut down by the police and pilloried by the press ("The Filth and the Fury" takes its title from a banner headline that once occupied a full front page of the Daily Mirror).

	The Filth and the Fury

	MMI Movie Review: The Filth and the Fury
		Director Julien Temple has returned to the scene of many crimes with "The Filth and the Fury" a new documentary that 20 some years after the fact, myth and rumor, serves the Sex Pistols up for reevaluation and, perhaps, a proper place in history.
		McLaren does not fare well in "The Filth and the Fury." An older and wiser Julien Temple has now sided with the band, and when McLaren is given a voice in the film we see only an anonymous figure in full hooded S&M gear, a caricature of blind self-absorption.
		Yet what emerges from and lingers after "The Filth and the Fury" is a timeless story of working class mates and the spoils of success.

		The brilliant documentary The Filth and the Fury, by England's Julien Temple, clears up the history of one of the few truly distinctive rock bands of the 20th century.
		The Filth and the Fury shows a startling image that encapsulates the era: a photo of the British Top of the Pops list with a blank space at the No. 1 spot, where "God Save the Queen" would have been if it hadn't been banned.

	Orlando Weekly - Film Review - The Filth and the Fury
		"The Filth and the Fury" is a montage of visual memorabilia that juxtaposes recently unearthed concert footage against campy British TV commercials and newsreel images of street riots -- "mixed mass media," one might term the high-art approach.
		Less obvious is the use of scenes from "Richard III" and clips of TV comedians to illustrate the essential paradox of the Pistols' career: Their nose-thumbing assault on the ruling order was actually a show-business spectacle that was firmly grounded in English tradition.
		The modern-day interviews with the grown-up Johnny Rotten and company are all shot in silhouette, preventing any evidence of the march of time from interfering with the ongoing paean to the passion of youth.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: The Filth and the Fury
		With the arrival of Julien Temple's The Filth and the Fury in 2000, that number is now four, and Temple not only has come up with a vivid tale about these punk icons, but one of the best and smartest documentaries ever assembled about pop music.
		John and Paul may have gone their separate ways with Yoko and Linda — for the Pistols, it was Nancy Spungeon who latched on to bassist Sid Vicious, earning the enmity of his bandmates in the process.
		Answers often are hard to come by (who quit the band first, Johnny or Steve?), and The Filth and the Fury wisely avoids the pitfalls of definitive storytelling.

	THE FILTH AND THE FURY movie review (with photos and clips where possible)
		Sid Vicious in "The Filth and the Fury."
		The Filth and the Fury is an energetic, no-holds-barred look at the improbable rise, furious flash and quick fade-out of the Pistols.
		They tell of repressed, working-class childhoods, display outrageous street theater and engage in foul-mouthed rages against the system, against their manager, against their audience, and against one another.

		The Filth And The Fury, a film by Julien Temple, is a shocking portrait of arguably the most influential and certainly the most notorious rock group of all time.
		Painted against the political economic and cultural backdrop of London in the mid-70's, 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.

	'The Filth and the Fury'
		If, at times, it seems suspiciously familiar, let the record state that "The Filth and the Fury" is Julien Temple's second stab at chronicling the meteoric rise and fall of what remains the most notorious band that ever mattered, the Sex Pistols.
		When the film takes on such topics as the breakup of the band and tragic death of poor old Sid, the bassist on a crash course with disaster, "The Filth and the Fury" is poignant in ways that "Sid and Nancy" never even tried to be.
		And "The Filth and the Fury" is here to remind the world exactly why that is.

		The Pistols were very much a reaction against the prevailing social and cultural outlook of Britain at the time and Temple does his best to transport us there through splicing clips of riots in Northern Ireland and London with TV commercials of that era.
		Directed by Julien Temple, a first-hand witness of the 1970's UK Punk scene, The Filth and the Fury is an excellent docimentary of that most essential and influential of UK Punk bands, the Sex Pistols.
		Despite their questionable musical ability, and subsequent sell-out via the "Filthy Lucre" tours, you would be a fool to question the Sex Pistols impact on the music scene of the 1970's.

		"The Filth and the Fury" is the Sex Pistols' stab, using the word advisedly, at telling their story, a la "The Beatles Anthology." The Beatles took nearly eight hours to tell the tale of their incredible decade together, while the Pistols use up less than two recalling their two tumultuous years of infamy.
		As Neil Young sang in his ode to the band that put the sneering face on punk, it is better to burn out than to rust, and, it turns out, more fun to watch as well.
		"The Filth and the Fury" is directed by Julien Temple, who was hired in 1979 by Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren...

		OK, watched the Sex Pistols documentary "The Filth and the Fury." A recent flick, it came out in 2000 and interviewed the surviving members of the Pistols, though they were but silhouettes residing in the comfort of midlife homes.
		What I liked about "The Filth and the Fury" was how accurately it detailed the conditions in England that gave rise to punk music and fashion.
		The sad fact, and one which is detailed in "The Filth and the Fury," is that the band eventually became a freak show, the music forgotten or lost by the time they wearily limped on stage in San Francisco.

	SPLICEDwire \| "The Filth & the Fury" review (2000)
		For about an hour, "The Filth and the Fury" -- the Sex Pistols new self-indulgent, slash-and-burn documentary -- is a fascinating patchwork of interviews, lost concert footage, 90-mile-per-hour biographical data and body slams directed at record companies and managers (OK, Macolm McLaren) that the band feels screwed them during their 18-month existence.
		But "The Filth and the Fury" -- essentially Julien Temple's update of 1980's "The Great Rock and Roll Swindle," but from the band's point of view -- isn't much more than a vanity piece in which the Pistols take pride in their scabs.
		Soon after that irreverent, fun and anarchistic first hour is over, the film becomes repetitive, excessive and bitter, with Lydon winging on about his venom for McLaren, the band's manager, and Nancy Spungen, Vicious' drug-addled girlfriend.

		Called THE FILTH AND THE FURY, the film has a highly limited appeal.
		THE FILTH AND THE FURY starts off quite promisingly, crediting the social unrest in Britain in the mid-1970s as the group's genesis.
		Citing the misconception that "everyone" was on the dole, the story suggests that the band was formed by working-class youths as a protest against unemployment and conformity.

		Description: The Filth and the Fury is an irreverent, shocking portrait of 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 '70s London through their crucifixion by the British tabloids, canonization by hundreds of thousands of fans around the world and ultimate implosion on tour in America.
		Myths are debunked, scores are settled and the words of the band are heard for the first time as they step once and for all away from the shadow of their one-time manager Malcolm McLaren.

		The Filth and the Fury sets the record straight for the first time.
		It gives great insight into the motivations of the Pistols, but it also gives the uneducated a great perspective on how the Punk movement began and how it all came hurtling to a blind halt by commercialism, social pressure, and the fear of individuality.

		The Filth and the Fury (2000) describes one of the strangest Svengali-Trilby relationships in a music riddled with self-styled gurus and self-destructive brats.
		Using a collage style, The Filth and the Fury not only captures the period, but makes clear the connections between the boys’ violent working-class music and the skyscraper tenements and garbage-clogged streets in which they grew up.
		And The Filth and the Fury is also, of all things, an anti-drug film.

	Guardian Unlimited Film \| Reviews \| The Filth and the Fury
		Julien Temple made his name in 1979 with The Great Rock'n'Roll Swindle, a striking film about the two years of the Sex Pistols which had then just ended, before going to direct flat-footed fiction.
		With the feature-length documentary, The Filth and the Fury, he returns to the Sex Pistols, but this time the object is to show them not as the puppets of Malcolm McLaren but as both self-creations and products of their chaotic times.
		The title comes from a Daily Mirror headline of 1978 and the film vividly recreates that curious period when Labour lost control and Thatcher was about to take power.

		The Filth and the Fury: documentary. Starring Paul Cook, Steve Jones, John Lydon, Glen Matlock, Malcolm McLaren, Nancy Spungen and Sid Vicious. Directed by Julien Temple. Rated R. Run time: 108 minutes.
		An anti-sensationalist choice, this serves Temple’s purposes well. The Filth and the Fury concentrates less on the musical influences of the Sex Pistols and the power they exerted on the many copycat as well as legitimate bands who followed in their stormy wake.
		It is a sober photo essay as intimate as an overseas phone conversation from a long-estranged friend.

		It is easy to tell that Temple is a trusted person for the band, this is the second time he has brought their story to the fore.
		Thanks to that, The Filth and the Fury does not have the stifled feel of Chuck Workman's The Source or one of those VH1 specials.
		These guys really do have feelings for Temple and are not weary to let everything be known to him.

		I guess "Swindle" is more of a movie about Malcolm MacLaren, the Pistols swaggering, pompous manager, while "Filth" is more from the viewpoint of Johnny Rotten nee Lydon nee Rotten, the Pistols' swaggering, pompous lead singer.
		"The Filth and the Fury" is the story of the Pistols told honestly and with integrity.
		I suppose it was time to strip away all the bullshit and get to the heart of the story, to tell it as it really was.
