Joe Strummer, gravel-voiced frontman for the Clash, springs to life in Julien Temple's illuminatingly honest documentary The Future Is Unwritten - Joe Strummer. Fleshed out by super-rare home film, vintage live TV footage, and frank interviews with Strummer himself, every facet of his life comes under intense scrutiny. Especially illuminating are nocturnal campfire soundbites, as well as candid revelations by Clash guitarist and fellow songwriter Mick Jones. Temple's portrayal of the Clash's early idealism and meteoric rise to fame is a celebration of the rebirth and growth of Joe Strummer as a musician and, more importantly, as a human being.
