You have to take the good with the bad. According to the lively documentary “Let Fury Have the Hour’’ — the name comes from a song by the Clash — Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher launched an era that favored the wealthy at the expense of the working class, and corporations at the expense of communities. But the divisiveness of their reactionary politics also inspired an outpouring of creativity in the arts that continues today.
Director Antonino D’Ambrosio mixes vintage footage with contemporary interviews with artists — rappers, skateboarders, filmmakers, poets — who say they transferred their anger at the broken political system into provocative art and thought. The film is one-sided and at times unfocused, but it makes a lot of sense politically.
