The Great Rock ‘n’ Roll Swindle

In this unconventional documentary-style film, we follow the journey of the iconic punk band, Sex Pistols, through the eyes of their manager Malcolm McLaren. The movie challenges traditional narratives by proposing an alternative perspective: McLaren's assertion that he orchestrated both the rise of the Sex Pistols and the entire punk movement as a masterful plan to amass wealth. Throughout the film, we explore McLaren's ambitious vision, his manipulative tactics, and the impact they had on the band and music industry. The movie delves into the chaotic world of punk rock and its origins, revealing a complex web of intentions, rebellion, and artistry. Viewers are invited to question the authenticity of punk, as well as the motivations behind those who shaped it.
