<p><b>“Julien Temple's new rock doc is the dog's bollocks. 5/5” - <i>Mojo </i></b></p><p>The final film in his trilogy on British music of the 70s sees Julien Temple rewind to a time before The Clash (<i>Joe Strummer: The Future is Unwritten</i>, MIFF 07) and the Sex Pistols (<i>The Filth & The Fury</i>) when a little-documented band came crashing out of Canvey Island. </p><p>Dr Feelgood were four men in cheap suits who sandpapered the face of rock ‘n' roll and set the scene for a punk explosion. Using music as a prism to examine the social conditions of the time, this doco continues the anarchic rockumentary style Temple pioneered with <i>The Great Rock & Roll Swindle</i>. </p><p>“Nothing less than a masterclass in musical hagiography, beautifully photographed, superbly edited and utterly involving.” - <i>Time Out</i></p>
