Punk Can Take It(1979)
Punk Can Take It Synopsis
Julien Temple's wartime documentary parody "Punk Can Take It" (1979) - 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.
Punk Can Take It (1979) is a comedy, war, documentary and music film directed by Julien Temple, released on December 30, 1979 with a runtime of 19m. It stars Julia Binstead, Edward Tudor-Pole, Helen Wellington-Lloyd and UK Subs. Viewers rate it 6.0 out of 10 across 4 ratings.
