In a nod to last year’s theme “On being Mortal,” the story of British rock guitarist (of the 1970s-‘80s band Dr. Feelgood) treats one man’s strategy for coming to terms with his impending death. Rather than reacting as some might expect to a grave cancer diagnosis, Wilko Johnson is transported into a state of ecstasy that encourages him to live every moment to the fullest. Director Julien Temple cut his teeth filming rock musicians like the Sex Pistols, so he brings to this profile of Johnson not a clichéd “bucket list” approach, nor a straight biography, but an imaginative attempt to capture the dying man’s experience of ecstasy in what may amount to the ultimate music video. Peppered with homages to many classic films, lively experiments in symbolic visual collaging, and Johnson’s own raucous farewell concerts, the documentary reminds us all to wake up and seek our own life ecstasies sooner rather than later.
