The Great Rock and Roll Swindle gives us the most complete statement yet of the punk sensibility...

Wiprud portrays Tchaik, a glorified office boy" in a London import-export firm, with sensitivity and intensity. Not satisfied to play Tchaik, who is apprehensive about the date and generally inexpressive, with typical manifestations of nervousness, Wiprud gives the character depth by exploring his insecurities about relationships with women. Although he falters somewhat, allowing his intensity and energy level to drop when Tchaik is supposed to be drunk, on balance Wiprud turns in a believable, controlled and emotional performance...
