The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle

The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle

1980103 minComedy, Documentary, Music 6.2

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."

Editor's Verdict

NO

"The movie focuses entirely on the history and alleged scam behind the Sex Pistols and punk rock, managed by Malcolm McLaren. There is no indication that the setting, plot, themes, iconography, or resolution have any connection to the Christmas season whatsoever."
