THE GREAT ROCK'N'ROLL SWINDLE

THE GREAT ROCK'N'ROLL SWINDLE

Country: UK
Year: 1979
Duration: 103'


What was punk, really? A sincere form
of rebellion or a clever scheme to make
tons of money? Julien Temple reconstructs
the story of the Sex Pistols from the point
of view of their cunning manager Malcolm
McLaren, the real mastermind of the
band’s commercial success. A controversial
reconstruction with great material from
the archives and a Sid Vicious rendition
of My Way that made history.
