Music documentary Crock Of Gold: A Few Rounds With Shane MacGowan has been set for a release in November through Wildcard Distribution and Altitude Films. The film is directed by Julien Temple and produced by Johnny Depp, Stephen Deuters, Stephen Malit and Temple. The film is a cinematic exploration of the legendary poet, punk and Pogue Shane MacGowan, and will be released in UK cinemas from 20th November.
Combining interviews, previously unseen archive footage and specially commissioned animations with an impressive soundtrack, the documentary details Shane’s explosive existence from his early days growing up in Ireland, to time spent on the mean streets of London and embracing the punk scene, to forming The Pogues. We discover MacGowan’s passions, humour, and deep knowledge of music, history, spirituality, and popular culture.
The film is a vision of the world through the eyes of the great punk poet himself and an intimate cast of close friends and family members, all channeled through Temple’s inimitable and eternally vibrant lens.
