An accurate portrait of Strummer
11 December 2008
The Clash were one of the greatest bands in music history. No they weren't the Beatles or Stones or Zeppelin but they continued on the tradition of revoloutionizing the music and style of their times. Later they became true recording artists on Sandinista and Combat Rock. As it turns out fame got to them, just as it had the previous bands mentioned. Julien Temple's bio of Joe Strummer will not disappoint , as it portrays a man who definitely expressed the spirit of the band's anarchistic take no prisoners nature. Also as a movie it has great style , pace, and the intermingling of actual home film, with concert footage, and reminisces by colleagues works very well. The sound track would be nice to get.
