Take a deep dive into the life of the tortured Irish singer Shane MacGowan, best known as the lead singer and songwriter of the Pogues.

Featuring unseen archival footage from the band and MacGowan's family, as well as animation from legendary illustrator Ralph Steadman, Julien Temple's rollicking love letter spotlights the iconic frontman up to his 60th birthday celebration, where singers, movie stars and rock 'n' roll outlaws gather to celebrate the man and his legacy.

"A riotous piece of storytelling...you understand the claims made for MacGowan as a modern bard – and grieve for the brevity of his brilliant, breakneck career." - Jonathan Romney, Screen International
