Director Julien Temple turns his lens towards the London-Irish punk and Pogues frontman Shane MacGowan in this revealing documentary. Interviewing his sister and father – who are at turns incredulous and dismissive of the singer’s fame – Temple traces MacGowan’s beginnings on the 70s punk circuit, his stint in a psychiatric unit and his battles with alcohol and substance abuse. MacGowan is a reluctant interviewee but famous fans such as Bobby Gillespie and Johnny Depp help draw out his legend.
