Product Description
Product Description
As the lead singer of The Clash from 1977 onward, Joe Strummer changed people's lives forever. Four years after his death, his influence reaches out around the world, more strongly now than ever before. In The Future Is Unwritten, from British film director Julien Temple, Joe Strummer is revealed not just as a legend or musician, but as a true communicator of our times. Drawing on both a shared punk history and the close personal friendship that developed over the last years of Joe's life, Julien Temple's film is a celebration of Joe Strummer--before, during, and after The Clash. (IFC Films)

Julien Temple, one of the early documentarians of the London punk scene and director of the 2000 Sex Pistols film The Filth and the Fury, turns his attention now to that other seminal British band: The Clash--or more accurately, to the band's co-founder, lyricist, rhythm guitarist and lead singer, Joe Strummer. The Future is Unwritten is more than just a biography of Strummer; it is a tribute and exploration of a musician, artist and devoted humanist. Though Temple respects and admires Strummer (his influence is exalted by close friends, peers and fans like Bono and John Cusack), he doesn't romanticize this larger-than-life personality and presents Strummer honestly and not always in flattering light, though the director's fondness for his subject is constant. Most movingly, Strummer himself provides the narration via reassembled excerpts from a variety of interviews and the BBC radio show he hosted during the nineties. In the wrong hands, this could be contrived, but in this masterful documentary it serves as a testament to not just Joe Strummer the myth, but Joe Strummer the man, telling us his story in vivid detail. The Future is Unwritten is a moving and personal portrait of a musician who helped shaped not just punk, but modern music as a whole. --Kira Canny

You should also check out Dick Rude's film Let's Rock Again, it's an entirely different type of film, also very touching and a good record of Joe's work with the Mescalero's, and thanks to those guys for getting him out of the wilderness and back on stage, and to Dickie for getting it all down!
By telling the mans story through the thoughts and feelings of his friends and aquaintences you truely can understand the mesure of this man and his music, we were lucky to have him on this planet and we miss him dearly this film helps to explain why.

Tout ce qui touche au Clash ou à Joe Strummer m'intéresse, et j'attendais donc avec impatience la sortie DVD du documentaire de Julian Temple qui, bien entendu, a été fort peu diffusé dans les cinémas lors de sa sortie.
Tant mon épouse que moi avons été très émus par cette biographie sans concession: Joe Strummer n'était pas un ange, certes, sans doute pas un démon non plus. Il était humain avant toute chose! Et comme tout homme, il a fait certains choix discutables, a pu montrer, surtout à l'encontre de Mick Jones et de Topper Headon, un caractère presque dictatorial, mais le temps faisant il s'est rendu compte des éventuelles erreurs qu'il a pu commettre, il a évolué, s'est enrichi (d'ailleurs davantage au niveau spirituel et musical que purement financier).
Les intervenants de ce documentaires n'appréciaient, et n'apprécient, pas toujours le leader des Clash et des Mescaleros, mais c'est justement ce qui fait la richesse de ce documentaire: la diversité des points de vue!
A conseiller les yeux fermés aux fans de Joe, de punk (le vrai, l'original) et de world music. Les autres s'embêteront peut-être un peu. Tous les goûts sont dans la nature.
The Future is Unwritten est un très bel hommage à Joe Strummer, et fait d'autant plus regretter cette époque où le plus grand groupe de tous les temps jouait ce rock révolutionnaire, et s'adressait à tous les laissés-pour-compte, à tous les opprimés.
