    Julien Temple is a great music documentarian. This is one of my favourite documentaries but I guess you have to like the pistols to really get into it!

    Scratching the turbulence of a famous icon and specifically of the prolific Sex Pistols band is a difficult thing to do....it becomes a lot more sour since you've been involved with them on a previous spectacle of swindles and dodgers.Nevertheless,the interviews and the first-per...( read more)son of revelations is enough to bring Temple another success in the rockumentary genre.

With old t.v. apperances, concert footage and an old interveiw with Sid Vicious. Pretty damn good accept that it could of been subtitles, as its hard to understand...( read more) what the hell they are saying half the time.
    Iam not a Pistols fan, but found this most entertaing.

    O verdadeiro retrato de uma banda sem paralelo (Sex Pistols), representante do descontentamento das classes trabalhadoras e da rebelião dos tempos.
