(Ironically, at test screenings, some teens thought it was fiction.) In Filth's strangest, most poignant moment, he breaks down crying while discussing Sid Vicious, the bandmate he lost to heroin. "I care about anyone dying a stupid death," he says, though he fought to snip his sobbing from the final cut. Says director Julien Temple: "I argued that this...
