3.9.12

sex & drugs & rock & roll (2010)

"Keep your head up and try not to drown."
A biography of Ian Dury (Andy Serkis), who went from youthful polio victim expected to die, to fronting a number of influential pub rock bands in the early 70's and eventually no 1 selling artist. All whilst maintaining his uncompromising stance on life and music.
A complicated man, which this biog just about gets away with it, due to the sterling work of Serkis, but its lack of historical context fails to show how truly revolutionary Dury was.
