The sound of Joe Strummer shouting his vocal "White Noise" into a microphone could have been an Alan Lomax field recording, an explosion of inner turmoil finding musical expression, until the rest of the band comes in and you recognize it as the Clash circa 1977. That's one of the moments Julien Temple captures in his documentary, "Joe Strummer: The Future Is Unwritten," which spans Strummer's pre-Clash hippie days, his post-Clash isolation, and the days before his death from a congenital heart defect in 2002. Temple is also known for his Sex Pistols documentaries, "The Great Rock and Roll Swindle" and "The Filth and the Fury." 4:30, 7, and 9:40 p.m. $9.75, seniors $6.75. Coolidge Corner Theatre, 290 Harvard St., Brookline. 617-734-2501. coolidge.org
