Joe Strummer - The Future is Unwritten

UK 2007, 123 minutes
Dir. Julien Temple
Genres: Documentary, Music / Punk

Aroview: Renowned musical documentarian Julien Temple (THE FILTH & THE FURY) draws a superbly detailed, multi-dimensional life portrait of late Clash frontman Joe Strummer through an assortment of posthumous interviews, concert footage, film clips, and audio interviews with the man himself.

Temple's use of 'bonfire bonhomie' interviews - a touching reference to Strummer's love of fireside unity - allows each subject to unguardedly regale stories of Strummer's complex creative, political and philosophical explorations, resulting in an unflinchingly honest tribute to one of punk's greatest icons.

4 stars (Very Good) A very well produced documentary with adequate time being devoted to both Strummer and to the band. It contains plenty of interviews and archival film. ~Tubbs
