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. close

"Schadenfreude" is a drama directed by Simon Pickup about the pernicious side of entertainment shows and the cost of journalistic irresponsibility.
Invasion ratings bring benefits to the owners of the channel, but destroy the fate of the participants of the project, whose “face” is unceremonious host Jeremy O’Reilly. The star of a popular TV show treats guests of the studio as expendable material. Cynicism, indifference and fatigue from people, their problems and experiences are the costs of the profession, which any journalist knows about. Sympathy and tact recede into the background when it is necessary to make a sensation, pull out scandalous information from the interlocutor and “give birth” in a live story, about which all the media will immediately write. The screen star asks questions that hurt the dignity of his guests. He is a master of provocation and doc in inquiry, knows how to dispose of the interlocutor to the conversation, but will never respond to frankness with reciprocity. Jeremy won't say a word about himself. Feeling insulted, a group of young people who were put up for universal condemnation by the leader decides to take revenge on the offender. But during a meeting with O’Reilly, an innocent colleague, Paige Boston, is murdered. close
