Just watched this for the first time last night... it's a fascinating look at the Pistols (been wanting to see it for a while - slow in getting to it).
i do have a question, and i'm sure someone here knows the answer... why was Johnny Rotten et al masked in shadow during their interviews for the film? i've been searching this morning for the answer, but my googling skills seem to be falling short.

It was just a stylistic decision. It probably also helped to keep the audience mired in the Sex Pistol's history in that the focus remains on the archive footage and how they used to look, not as they do now.
Well, Sid probably looks roughly the same, but everyone else got older and put some weight on.
Point being that the unseen interviews was just a contrivance for the film, no real reason for it as far as I can see.

I heard Sid lost some weight.
