In early 2013, ex-Dr. Feelgood guitarist, songwriter, and showman Wilko Johnson was diagnosed with inoperable pancreatic cancer. Given a few months to live, he recorded a final album, went on a farewell tour, and told the world that he'd never felt more acutely, joyously alive. But a funny thing happened on the way to Valhalla: the months ticked by, and Johnson didn't die. Julien Temple, who'd been enchanted by Johnson's wit and erudition while making the Feelgoods documentary Oil City Confidential (also screening at CIMMFest), was there for the ride. The result is an uplifting exploration of how to live with impending death, and what to do when you're then sentenced to live.
