By Paul Moore
It's somewhat fitting that in a week where Ireland honours its patron saint, Julien Temple's award-winning documentary 'Crock of Gold: A Few Rounds With Shane MacGowan' also airs on the BBC.
Combining interviews, previously unseen archive footage and specially commissioned animations with an impressive soundtrack, the documentary details MacGowan's explosive existence from his early days growing up in Ireland, to the time he spent on the mean streets of London.
Ultimately, the gifted lyricist and musician would embrace the punk scene and form The Pogues.
Throughout the film, viewers will discover MacGowan’s passions, humour, and deep knowledge of music, history, spirituality, and popular culture.
After receiving its world premiere at the San Sebastian International Film Festival in September where it won the Special Jury Prize, Temple's documentary has received some excellent reviews.
At present, the film holds a 96% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and 77% on the more reliable Metacritic.
n their review, the LA Times said the documentary is "a celebration of what MacGowan accomplished at his peak, as well as an explanation of the experiences that informed his music" while The Hollywood Reporter called it a "richly detailed portrait of a self-destructive talent."
Aside from Julien Temple's direction, 'Crock Of Gold: A Few Rounds with Shane MacGowan' is notable because it's produced by Johnny Depp, a close friend of the singer.
Trust us, you'll want to set record for 'Crock of Gold: A Few Rounds With Shane MacGowan' when it airs at 10pm on BBC Four this Tuesday.
