Sex & Drugs & Rock ’n’ Roll
The true story of punk icon Ian Dury.
Stricken with polio at a young age, Ian Drury defied expectations by becoming one of the founders of the punk-rock scene in Britain in the 1970s. Dury (brilliantly played by Andy Serkis), also fought a long battle with the after effects of fame and ‘Sex & Drugs & Rock ‘n’ Roll’ pulls no punches in capturing the man with all his complexities and contradictions.
Whitecross (co-director of ‘Road to Guantanamo’) and writer Paul Viragh have delivered the most impressive look at a particular period and figure in British music history since Anton Corbijn’s ‘Control’.
