Synopsis:

Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll is the story of Ian Dury, legendary punk and lyricist who, together with his band The Blockheads, created some of the wittiest, most original songs to come out of Britain in recent decades. During his lifetime and to this day, Dury inspired admiration and hilarity, using his childhood experiences (including the polio that disabled him) and acute powers of observation to fashion a unique hybrid of rock 'n'roll and the musical hall. Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll follows the brave, irreverent Dury from early adversity to art school maverick, from doting father to unlikely international popstar.

Documentary filmmaker Mat Whitecross makes his feature film debut with this searing biopic that focuses on the life and career of Blockheads frontman Ian Dury (played here by Andy Serkis; most famous for his portrayal of Gollum in Peter Jackson's LORD OF THE RINGS). Serkis is ably supported by a cast of Britain's leading acting talent which includes Naomi Harris (28 DAYS LATER), Ray Winstone (SEXY BEAST), Olivia Williams (THE SIXTH SENSE), Noel Clarke (KIDULTHOOD), Toby Jones (INFAMOUS) and MacKenzie Crook (THE OFFICE).

A biography of Ian Dury who was stricken with polio at a young age and defied expectations by becoming one of the founder of the punk-rock scene in Britain in the 1970s.
