Uk Subs-Punk Can Take It
 
 
Features: DVD
 
Julien Temple's wartime documentary parody Punk Can Take It--a theatrically released promo for the UK Subs, complete with narration by BBC voice-over veteran John Snagge--paints a glorious picture of England in a punk rock "identity crisis". Punk morale was higher than ever before. Punks were fused together not by fear, but by a surging spirit of revenge, immortality, and the courage never to submit or yield. This proved that punk won't go away and that punks themselves are becoming younger and nastier everyday. They have no time for the precarious thrills of nostalgia nor for its trivial rules.
 


Editor's Note

Directed by Julien Temple (ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS, EARTH GIRLS ARE EASY), this punk rock documentary from 1979 is shot as a parody of wartime documentary films. Immortalizing the punk rock spirit on celluloid, Temple infuses his film with a genuine sense of anger prevalent in the U.K. at the time. Centering the film around the experiences of the U.K. Subs proves to be a masterstroke, offering all the gritty realism of life in Britain at the tail end of the 70s.
