Rude Boy
1980 · Movie · R · 132 min · ★ 6.4
Somewhere between a Clash concert film and an electric, booze-soaked portrait of punk Britain stands Jack Hazan and David Mingay’s cult classic. A vital look at the values and rock revolutions of pre-Thatcher Britain which, like the music scene it documents, is raw, unpolished, and in-your-face.
Also known as The Clash: Rude Boy
