The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle (1980)

Directed by Julien Temple

Overview

A rather incoherent post-breakup Sex Pistols “documentary”, told from the point of view of Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren, whose (arguable) position is that the Sex Pistols in particular and punk rock in general were an elaborate scam perpetrated by him in order to make “a million pounds.”

Length 103 minutes
