Keswick Film Festival

Synopsis

Temple returns to the story of the Sex Pistols twenty years after his film The Great Rock and Roll Swindle - now admitted by Temple to be largely manager McLaren's version of events. Mixing Templ's own footage with contemporary TV material, The Filth and the Fury (a reference to a tabloid headline of the time) is a response to the earlier film, allowing the surviving members of the band to tell their story of the most chaotic two years in rock 'n' roll history.
