Thought this might be of interest.
As the front man of the Clash from 1977 onwards, Joe Strummer changed people’s lives forever. Four years after his death, his influence reaches out around the world, more strongly now than ever before. In “The Future Is Unwritten”, from British film director Julien Temple, Joe Strummer is revealed not just as a legend or musician, but as a true communicator of our times. Drawing on both a shared punk history and the close personal friendship which developed over the last years of Joe’s life, Julien Temple’s film is a celebration of Joe Strummer – before, during and after the Clash
I can cope with Joe Strummer Lives, but Julien Temple?
Went to see this in the IFI when it was shown as part of the Dublin film festival a few years ago, followed by a Q&A on stage with Temple.
Strummer was an icon. Long may his influence live on.
