A Curious Life (2014): cast, story & where to watch
2014 · Film
Released in 2014, A Curious Life is a music and documentary film directed by Dunstan Bruce, running about 78 minutes. “A film about the Levellers and 25 Years of Subsidised Dysfunctionality” — that tagline sets the tone.
What it’s about. Borne out of the anarcho-squatting free-festival scene of the eighties the Levellers have survived over 25 years of music press vitriol, drink and drug addictions as well as many barren years in the wilderness. But the band had seven consecutive gold albums throughout the 90s, sold out their own festival for the last ten years and run their own creative centre, the Metway. Via the eccentric artist, archivist, whiskey loving bassist Jeremy Cunningham we are taken on a journey; how the band rose to fame and how they survived. A potted history of 25 years of subsidised dysfunctionalism. An uplifting tale of battling demons, that reminds us that behind every band there is always a story of struggle for expression, acceptance and survival.
Who’s in it. A Curious Life stars Jeremy Cunningham, Mark Chadwick, Jon Sevink and Simon Friend, among others.
