Best Film of 2007: Joe Strummer

By Paul Kedrosky · Tuesday, December 11, 2007 ·

strummer I just finished watching my pick as the best film of 2007. Its name? Joe Strummer: The Future is Unwritten.

Granted, I didn't exactly see many films in 2007, but nevertheless, I know greatness when I see it. This Julian Temple documentary is artfully done, and is an appropriately -- given the subject -- noisy, messy, and maddening piece of work. A riveting look at fame, innovation, and creativity, it ends up being the definitive story of one of one of modern music's most fascinating talents, Joe Strummer of The Clash.

Find a copy and watch it. You can thank me later.
