- Synopsis:
He attracted mass adulation, critical respect and wholesale success from almost the first day he stepped onto a stage with The Smiths, yet Morrissey seems to become more and more of a cultural icon with each passing year. And while most of his contemporaries from the 1980s have either faded away, lost relevance or morphed into little more than nostalgia acts, Mozzer remains arguably the only artist to have emerged in the wake of punk yet kept huge appeal for each new generation of music fans. This film charts Morrissey's solo career from the day the Smiths were no more up to the present. And with the aid of rare footage, exclusive interviews, contributions from those closest to the man himself, and a host of other features, proffers a unique and uncensored look at the life, career and music of the most influential performer to have emerged over the past 30 years. Includes lengthy and exclusive contributions from Stephen Street, Mark Nevin, Craig Gannon, Tony Wilson, Vini Reilly and many others. - Actors:
