Movie Reviews of If I Should Fall from Grace - The Shane MacGowan Story
Movie Review: Sometimes warts and all is still full of warts
Summary: 2 Stars
If the director thought conducting every interview with MacGowan while he was drunk revelatory she was wrong. The ad made this seem an honest look at a star and his vices and just proved to be an attempt at character resurection. Yes we saw Shane out of it, (constantly) but no real details of either the band history or MacGowan's lifelong struggles. It seemd to me a way of admitting to lesser sins to claim innocence of greater ones. That and being a "Yank" the language (especially Shane's) is for the most part hard to follow. That and the way the movie ends( shot in 2002) gives a certain high sense of irony to the current Pogue reunion tour.
Summary of If I Should Fall from Grace - The Shane MacGowan Story
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 interAs 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
