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 a 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 '70s london through their crucifixion b the british tabloids and ultimate implosion on tour in america. painted against the politcal 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 filfth and the fury captures the very esssence of the punk movement.

Bereits die erste Single der Sex Pistols, "Anarchy in the U.K.", verfehlte nicht ihre Wirkung. Englische Radiostationen verweigerten die Ausstrahlung, denn der provozierende Text sollte kein Gehör finden. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt gab es die Sex Pistols bereits seit drei Jahren. Ihr neuer treibender Rock hatte sich längst herumgesprochen und die Punkwelle losgetreten.
