Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll

BAFTA nominee Andy Serkis (The Lord of the Rings trilogy) stars in this ripsnorting and unapologetic portrait of mercurial British punk rock pioneer, Ian Dury (Ian Dury and The Blockheads). Funny, heartbreaking and very rock-and-roll, this directorial debut of The Road to Guantanamo co-director Mat Whitecross chronicles everything from Dury’s troubled childhood and battle with debilitating polio, to the effects of his fame on his relationships and fatherhood.

Also starring Naomie Harris (Pirates of the Caribbean, 28 Days Later), Ray Winstone (Beowulf, The Departed, Sexy Beast), Olivia Williams (The Sixth Sense, Rushmore) and Toby Jones (Harry Potter, Frost/Nixon), Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll is a fitting tribute to a hugely charismatic poet and unlikely pop star, whose lyrics are among the most quotable ever written.

Critic Reviews:

• " Whether he's being charming or wretched, Serkis delivers a 100-watt performance that perfectly matches the cheery, jagged visuals. " – Andrew Dowler

• " Serkis is never less than ace. " – Neil Smith

• " Stands up pretty well as a celebration of Dury. " – Jonathan Romney
