These days, punk icons the Sex Pistols have no shock value. But as this fast and furious music documentary reveals, back in the 1970s, they caused serious outrage with their bizarre appearances, outlandish personalities and wild antics. John Lydon, aka Johnny Rotten, is among the surviving band members recalling the era's turbulent events - including the death of bass player Sid Vicious - while rare and unseen archive footage shows just how alien Britain looked back then compared with now. It's a fascinating and ultra-cool history lesson that demonstrates punk's continuing influence on modern fashion, music and attitudes.
