Om denne bog

This unique book demonstrates the central importance of visual media to the significance of British Punk rock pioneers the Sex Pistols, beginning with their nation-shocking television interview with Bill Grundy in December 1976.

Supported by an examination of surrounding documentary and fictional texts, The Sex Pistols on Screen centres on four key film and television/streaming depictions with and about the four-man group across four decades, namely The Great Rock ’n’ Roll Swindle (Temple, 1980); Sid and Nancy (Cox, 1986); The Filth and the Fury (Temple, 2000); and Pistol (Boyle, 2022). Though promising an oppositional stance, these works consistently demonstrate how the mainstream media disarm and commodify any genuine sense of mid-1970s anarchy. In addition, their differing personal perspectives exemplify the subjectivity and self-interested advocacy of all historical interpretation. Nonetheless, they still provide a sense of the empowering hit delivered by the Sex Pistols’ pugnacious music and galvanic live performances.

Accessible yet academically rigorous, The Sex Pistols on Screen is a significant study of the visual media’s importance in forging, reworking and reviving both the history and reputation of this seminal band. It will appeal both to the general reader and students of film, television, media, cultural and popular music studies.
