A short potted history of the scene and band followed by a brief chapter by chapter breakdown of the film. Interesting and brief. I was intrigued to read a bit more on them after listening to the British scandal podcast. Will now probably try and see this film and The Filth and the Fury.

Interesting read about the making of the film that starts off saying it's not a document on the whole punk movement or the history of the Pistols. However, it basically talks about the history of the movement and the band as we as information about the film.

Insightful review of the making of the swindle. The author has had access to a number of the main players and as much a documentation of the disintegration of the Pistols as of the making and legacy of the film.
