Lawrence of Belgravia

'An intimate documentary portrait of England's greatest lost musical genius' Will Hodgkinson, The Guardian‘Arguably the greatest pop star Britain never had.’ Alexia Petridis, The Guardian As lead singer of the much-loved bands Felt, Denim and Go-Kart Mozart, Lawrence is one of true cult artists of the British indie music scene, without really ever troubling the charts over his 40 year career. First released in 2012, Paul Kelly’s (Saint Etienne’s The London Trilogy, Dexys’ Nowhere is Home) intimate portrait was a labour of love which was eight years in the making. It follows Lawrence between Go Kart Mozart albums, weighed down by the chips on his shoulders while still dreaming of being a pop star who rides in limousines and dates supermodels. Previously only available on a long-deleted DVD, this new BFI edition presents Lawrence of Belgravia – one of the most outstanding music documentaries of the last 10 years – on Blu-ray for the very first time.Product FeaturesPresented in High DefinitionFeature-length audio commentary with director Paul KellyLawrence of Belgravia Q&A (2011, 7 mins): filmmaker Paul Kelly and his documentary subject Lawrence discuss their collaboration at the 55th London Film FestivalIntroduction by Paul Kelly (2011, 2 mins)Original trailerAlternative title sequence (2011, 1 min)Deleted scenes (2011, 5 mins): French Lesson and Building SitePoetry readings (2 mins): Cat Meat on Slum Street (2009) and The Tortoise (2011)**First pressing only** Booklet containing new interviews and writing by Sian Pattenden, Michael Hayden & Tim Murray, poetry by Lawrence and song lyrics
