The Libertines: There Are No Innocent Bystanders (2012): preview On 27 March, for one night only, the film will be shown in over 50 cinemas around the UK. Then from 25 April the film will tour around the country in various music venues. The idea is to give fans the option to watch the film in an environment befitting to the material. The documentary features exclusive interviews with Pete Doherty and Carl Barât, footage of the band's practice sessions before the reunion shows, and iconic photographs of the band, all of which were taken by Sargent himself. I assisted in the production of the London shows so I saw first-hand the reunion of these likely lads. As a Libertines fan it was a joy to behold; Carl bobbing and weaving his way across the stage, Pete missing his lines, John stoically playing his bass next to his anarchic brethren, and Gary relentlessly pounding away on the drums behind them. The Libertines only released two albums (Up the Bracket, 2002, and The Libertines, 2004) and yet their influence was astonishing (Sargent; "100 per cent they are a band that changed popular culture. Just look around the streets - especially London. There are whole fashion houses that base their collections on Peter's look.") The fiery friendship between Doherty and Barât was built on an ability to create honest, brash, literate rock and roll, but it was also a friendship that seemed to be tested on an almost daily basis by addiction, media intrusion and creative differences. There Are No Innocent Bystanders shines a light on this fragile relationship which has (just about) stood the test of time and will forever be synonymous with young angst, lyrical potency and an almost spiritual connection with fans not seen since. This film is a reminder that The Libertines were the great UK band of the Noughties.
