Description:
This unflinching, music-driven documentary provides the first real insight into the background and career of this legendary Irish artist who, as lead singer and songwriter for the Pogues, became a worldwide punk icon. The film includes contemporary inter
Amazon.com:
As any Pogues fan could've told you, The Shane MacGowan Story was destined to be funny, sad, uplifting, depressing, and utterly irresistible. By the time this engaging documentary was produced in 2000, MacGowan--former Pogues frontman, notorious drinker, and one of the greatest songwriters of his generation--was still the unrepentant alcoholic who caused his former bandmates so much worry. They loved him then and love him still (bandmate Philip Chevron speaks most eloquently of their history), and for all his toothless cackling and constant stupor, MacGowan is seen here as an amiable Irish pub-crawler, coherent in thought if not always in speech, still making music (with his latter-day band, the Popes), and obviously devoted to his wife, Victoria Clarke, an enabling saint whose love for MacGowan is joyfully unconditional. Archival clips, video excerpts, and interviews with MacGowan's friends and family complete this comprehensive chronicle, making it an essential addition to any punk-'n-Pogues library. --Jeff Shannon

A fantastic insight into the wonderfully uplifting and at times sad world of Shane MacGowan. This is an engaging, brutally honest, beautifully shot and thoughtfully constructed story of one of our times best songwriters/poets. A must see.

I love the Pogues like anyone but I have to confess, Shane's a very boring interview. He drags in his speak and repeats what he's said numerous times in previous interviews. Tipperary this and Tipperary that...
That being said, I loved the early footage in his year's with the Nipps and found the footage of an older, wiser MacGowan performing in Dublin to be an expression of bewildering nostalgia. That man has literally gone to hell and back and he's still standing, even waltzing with ... Read More

I saw this film a couple of years ago, I finally purchased my own copy of it.
This documentary is just fantastic and covers more or less the entire life up to the present of the great Shane Macgowan. Rather than just copying what most people have written about this movie I will just say a quick little quirp about what I really enjoy about it.
First off the opening of the movie sold me right away. The Popes live performing Paddy Public Enemy #1. That right there had me.

This movie shows the genius that is Shane, warts and all. A little rough to watch his slide into olblivion but it also gives you appreciation for where he has been and where he is going. I saw the Pogue's last year for Paddy's Day in NYC and he still has not missed a step musically or performing.
Rating: -
A real dose of where this artist came from and the influnces that made him what he is. I would have given this five stars if it was more introspective of the artist, although what they got was probably the best they could hope for. There is some great music and interviews and if you read between the lines, a sensitive artist. Somewhat depressing but definitely real.
