Negative Positive
Title: "Revolution Rock"
Review: Documentary biopic, 'The Future Is Unwritten' is a thorough examination of the talented lead singer/songwriter of British punk band, The Clash. Resourceful, the film fuses together early home movies, group footage, interviews of surviving members, relatives, and loved ones, as well as interviews when they were at their apex. Also featured are thoughtful words by Bono and short reflections by John Cusack, Martin Scorsese, and Steve Buscemi. All of the posthumous interviews are done by a bonfire to allude to Strummer's illustrated vision of heaven on earth. The highlights, however, focus on casual and candid talk by Strummer himself. His words both spoken and sung should be final proof that punk rock isn't and wasn't primarily right wing. The composite is a fascinating and penetrating work that is cohesive and satisfying.
