Arctic Monkeys: Scor-zay-zee and Le Donk


Infectious juvenile humour, plus a charismatic star turn from Paddy Considine, playing a self deluded roadie called Le Donk, more than correct for the shortcomings of this ramshackle experiment in barefoot British film making. Shot in five days at the meagre cost of £48,000, it follows Le Donk’s half cocked attempts to secure a live slot during an Arctic Monkeys concert for his rapping protégé Scor-zay-zee (Dean Palinczuk). Along the way there are domestic dramas and professional spats that, though consistently amusing, are crying out for more work, more cash, and more development than the finally limiting five day format allows.
