Synopsis

Director Don Letts has spent a good portion of his adult life documenting the exciting punk explosion that came out of England in the late 1970s. His film about the Clash, WESTWAY TO THE WORLD, is regarded as one of the definitive artefacts of the era, and Letts even went on to form the band Big Audio Dynamite with the Clash's Mick Jones. PUNK: ATTITUDE sees Letts returning to his beloved subject matter, examining the wide-reaching cultural impact punk had on the music world and beyond. Letts calls on a number of British and American stars to offer their thoughts on punk, with Henry Rollins, Chrissie Hynde, Jello Biafra, and filmmakers Jim Jarmusch (MYSTERY TRAIN) and Mary Harron (I SHOT ANDY WARHOL) among them. Some stunning footage of vital performers such as the Ramones, the Sex Pistols and Iggy Pop helps flesh out Letts's movie, while the director steers the film away from fond nostalgia, and instead demonstrates how the punk attitude continues to have an enormous influence throughout the world.


Product Description

In 1976 a cultural melt down was occurring. From this emerged a new scene: Punk Rock. Controversial, colourful and chaotic, it was a slap in the face of the establishment and a cultural movement that is still ingrained in the public consciousness. This film identifies the roots of this movement that is still ingrained in the public consciousness. This film identifies the roots of this tradition from America to the U.K. and beyond showing that Punk was not just a musical movement but an attitude of mind that is not, in any way static. Featuring interviews with Henry Rolins (Black Flag), Brendan Mullen (The Masque club owner), Chryssie Hynde (The Pretenders), and more. And includes footage from revolutionary Punk bands New York Dolls, MC5, The Stooges, The Clash, Sex Pistols, Ramones and much more.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great starter for potential punk enthusiasts, 4 Dec 2005
By Ec Tipton "donkey_sandwich" (Hereford, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you're just starting to discover the marvellous world of 'real' punk this is a great DVD to watch. It touches on most of the major events and bands in the history of punk from the 50's to present and features some great archive footage of the various bands (Velvet Underground, Dictators, Clash, Pistols, Ramones, Damned, X-Ray Spex etc) as well as some great interviews. The only real downside with it is as there are so many bands to cover it only really skims the surface but it nevertheless still a highly entertaining and interesting documentury. Well worth buying if you're interested in learning about punk or if you're a fan of any of the bands mentioned on it.

5.0 out of 5 stars OLD PUNK, 19 Oct 2009
By M. J. Bailey (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was too young to appreciate punk in 1976/77, but this DVD certainly gave me a good flavour of the times. The film is packed with many revealing interviews from the bands involved and a lot of rare gig footage. I particularly enjoyed the articulate comments from Poly Styrene, Jello Biafra, Pete Shelley and Henry Rollins.

The extras are varied and impressive. It takes a look at early fanzines, female punks, UK vs US and much more.

One of the best documentaries I have ever seen on the subject. Henry Rollins' input is worth its weight in gold! Nice to see an intelligent & thoughtful view.
