If I Should Fall from Grace - The Shane MacGowan Story Reviews
Great Story, Great Music
I have to say I have only very recently discovered the music of The Pogues/Shane Macgowan (some 20 years down the line, but better late than never). I have always had a healthy respect for Irish music (in different forms), and theirs is certainly different. This is an excellent presentation of Shane's life (with and without the Pogues) with many insightful interviews with family and friends, as well as some outstanding music clips and videos I had never seen. Interviews with the man himself reveal much more than what you see on the surface. On the one hand, it's sad to see someone in the constant state he's in, which ranges from tipsy to downright bombed. On the other hand, he still has a fairly quick wit and some really great memories to share. One would hope that he's still got some tunes in him somewhere, although he hasn't put out any new material in about 7 years. He seems to have patched up his differences with his former mates, The Pogues, and does the occasional tour with them as well. How much longer will he be with us? Only God knows!
great film
I have never changed my mind about a person so many times. I have watched it at least ten times and always see something different and always feel something different.
Nick Cave extra stuff is a bore, but the film is mesmerizing.
This is honest and therefore difficult stuff. Did our loving the Pogues egg him on to be the sot he is?
Brilliantly made film, buy it.
