Music videos and archived footage supplement recent interviews in this documentary of ex-Pogues singer Shane MacGowan. We follow his life from the early days in Ireland and England, through his formation of - and later dismissal from - The Pogues, to his new band The Popes. Shane's family, friends, and former bandmates comment on the music, the rumors, and the alcohol.
Acting
Shane's own rambling, brilliant interviews — performance and truth blurred.
Editing
Jagged cuts between archival gigs and present-day wreckage.
