The Sex Pistols tell their own story in Julien Temple's reply to his own film, The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle, made 20 years previously.
"How many filmmakers have returned to the same subject 20 years later and told a radically different story? Julien Temple does just that in his superb essay on the Sex Pistols and the times in which the band evolved, soared and ultimately imploded. In the perfect riposte to manager Malcolm McLaren dominating The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle it's the fiercely intelligent and supremely witty John Lydon (née Rotten) who holds the floor here. A free-form collage with kitschy '70s TV commercials and clips of ancient British comedy acts pointedly spliced into its raucous proceedings, Filth… tells us exactly why the Sex Pistols and punk rock needed to happen."
