The Review - AT THE MOVIES with WILLIAM HALL

Pick of the Indies

JULIEN Temple’s films have tended to the mediocre – think Absolute Beginners or Earth Girls are Easy.
But when it comes to punk rock docs, it’s a different story.
On Sunday, the Curzon Soho marks the release of his forthcoming homage to Clash founder Joe Strummer – The Future is Unwritten – with a Temple double-bill.
The Filth and the Fury, where Temple revisits the Sex Pistols, is paired with Glastonbury, his free-wheeling portrait of the iconic British music-fest. There’s also a Joe Strummer exhibition in the bar until Saturday.

Also at the Curzon Soho, check out a preview of Australian director Ray Lawrence’s new film, Jindabyne on Tuesday.
Based on a short story by Raymond Carver, the film explores current Aussie mores through the discovery of a girl’s body by a group of friends on their annual fishing trip.
If it’s a fraction as good as Lawrence’s previous film, Lantana, it’s well worth a visit.

Finally, the Everyman’s Screen Salon season continues on Sunday with The Godfather, Francis Ford Coppola’s legendary gangster epic with its roll-call of method-acting greats – from Marlon Brando through to Robert Duvall, James Caan and, of course, Al Pacino.
Don’t miss.
