The Future is unwritten Joe Strummer (a film by Julian Temple).

As a childhood Clash fan I was eager to watch this film when a friend lent it to me. It's a documentary style film covering Joe Strummer's life and career including: his childhood; his first successful band The 101ers; his days living as a hippie in London squats; the rise and fall of The Clash; his life post Clash including his continued musical career with The Mescaleros. It is not just a rockumentary and tribute to Joe Strummer but also a fascinating insight into the times in which he lived, his personality, and relationships with band members and people he met and worked with. There are many interviews with people who knew Joe, these are filmed in the ambiance of a cosy campfire. Campfire 'get togethers' at music festivals where occaisions for which Joe was renown. The interviews, (Conversations with Joe), are also available on the DVD as an extra feature to watch separately, this also includes interviews that didn't appear in the film itself.
I enjoyed the film and found it informative with great footage and music. This DVD was two hours well spent. Clash and Strummer fans will love it.
