Rock and Roll's Greatest Failure: Otway the Movie
Without the slightest pretence of objectivity, still less critical detachment, this documentary chronicling the ups and downs of never-say-die musician John Otway is fantastically engaging, the very definition of feelgood film-making. Otway, of course, is the colourful singer-songwriter who has been lurking chaotically on the fringes of the music business since his 1977 hit Really Free; the anarchic, shambolic spirit that endeared him to the original punk audience effectively prevented him from having any kind of follow-up.
