The Rocker: A Portrait of Phil Lynott
January. 03,1996When Thin Lizzy frontman Phil Lynott died on 4 January 1986, he was 36 years old. His early death from a drug-related illness placed him in the same rock 'n' roll league as his idols Elvis and Jimi Hendrix. This documentary looks behind the image to reveal the strains of life in the fast lane. It also focuses on Lynott as family man, writer, and black Irishman with a Brazilian father. Includes contributions from Bono, Van Morrison, Mark Knopfler, Scott Gorham, and Lynott's wife Caroline Crowther, who speaks publicly for the first time. (Radio Times)

A Masterpiece!
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
