Directed by Julien Temple • 2009 • United Kingdom

The third film in Julien Temple’s trilogy (THE FILTH AND THE FURY, JOE STRUMMER: THE FUTURE IS UNWRITTEN) about British music culture of the 1970s shines light on a group that may lay claim to the title of greatest local band in the world. In 1971, four young men in cheap suits calling themselves Dr. Feelgood crashed out of Canvey Island, Essex, and sandpapered the face of rock ’n’ roll with their blistering brand of British R&B. Vividly recreating a singular time and place, Temple traces the spectacular rise and fall of the cult heroes who were punk before punk.
