Skinhead Farewell dives into the life of Jim Moffatt, aka Richard Allen, who penned those gritty Skinhead novels that defined a genre back in the '70s. The documentary is raw and unfiltered, creating an almost voyeuristic atmosphere as it unveils the man's complex persona and his motivations. You get a glimpse of the subculture that inspired his work, with a pacing that ebbs and flows between interviews and archival footage. There's a stark authenticity in the practical effects and the way it encapsulates the era. It’s not just a story about books; it’s a look into a world that many would prefer to forget, but Allen’s writings somehow immortalized that chaos. It’s a captivating watch for anyone curious about the darker corners of literary history.
