Howard was arguably the creative force that made The Birthday Party something different. Certainly other band members and observers support this view in this documentary of his life. I only saw him once and he died a few weeks later. He had finally got off heroin and beat hep C but died awaiting a liver transplant just as Pop Crimes, only his second solo album, was released to acclaim. It's a good doco with interviews and a lot of mainly grainy rare foootage of Young Charlatans, the Birthday Party, Crime and City solution, These Immortal Souls and his later period when he was largely reclusive and struggling with his ailments and life in general. Nick Cave is effusive in praise of the man but appears reluctant to admit to injustices meted out.This is a worthy testament to the life of a significant artist
