Dr. Feelgood – OIL CITY CONFIDENTIAL DVD

Julien Temple’s acclaimed, award-winning documentary Oil City Confidential. This is the story of Dr Feelgood, four men in cheap suits who crashed out of Canvey Island in the early ’70s, sandpapered the face of rock’n’roll, leaving all that came before a burnt-out ruin – four estuarine John-the-Baptists to Johnny Rotten’s anti-Christ. Taking London by storm, they sped through Europe and conquered the UK with No 1 chart success, before imploding just as punk was born and America beckoned with open arms. Contributions from members of The Clash, Blondie and The Sex Pistols join Dr Feelgood with collaborators Jools Holland and Alison Moyet to tell the story of Canvey, ’70s England and the greatest local band in the world.’A rip-roaring account of one of the best bands Britain ever produced by a film-maker who looks increasingly like our very finest rockumentarian’ – Mark Kermode’Nothing less than a master-class in musical hagiography, beautifully photographed, superbly edited and utterly involving’ – Time Out’I don’t think Julien Temple has ever made a film as good, and as purely insightful as this’ – The Guardian
