Still Crazy DVD

Twenty-one years after an acrimonious split, '70s rock band Strange Fruit are about to regroup and go on the road again. Their goal is to perform at the Wisebech Open Air Rock Festival, the venue of their final disastrous performance which heralded their demise two decades earlier. The interviewing years have seen the band members settling into lives ranging from the simply ordinary to the outright poverty-stricken. Still Crazy takes a sharp and acutely funny look at what it takes to get youself back on stage with a group of people you haven't spoken to since glam rock and platform shoes were all the rage! With a dazzling comedy cast including Stephen Rea, Billy Connolly, Jimmy Nail, Timothy Spall, Juliet Aubrey and Bill Nighy, and scripted by one of Britain's most successful comedy writing partnerships, Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais, this hilarious film charts Strange Fruit's increasingly desperate efforts to recapture the magic, the music, the lost opportunities and the missed romances of their prime. Are they Still Crazy enough to succeed?
