Sarah Share spent six months with Shane MacGowan putting together this feature length biography. By most accounts Share did a brilliant job. The film is powerful and even-handed, managing to portray MacGowan as a gifted genius without glossing over his troubled, self-destructive side. Key to the documentary's success was the filmmaker's decision to forego narration and let the camera, Shane, his family, and friends tell the story through interviews. Share herself stayed off camera. That brings a feeling of intimacy to the film, giving the sense that those interviewed were speaking directly to the viewer. In a round of interviews to promote the film, Share told of the difficulties she experienced trying to interview and film MacGowan: "On many occasions we sat outside his flat waiting for hours for him to answer the phone or the door. I'd arrive at 12 noon and finally get him out to do something at 12 at nigh," she said. "Plus he was frequently incoherent. I have hours and hours of incoherent footage. In the end it was best to just follow him around waiting to get a little nugget of something. My cameraman described it as being like wildlife photography." MacGowan's fans are indebted to her perseverance. If you like Shane MacGowan, you've got to see this. Rake at the Gates of Hell: Shane MacGowan in Context
