Instantly forgettable, much like the trailer, this poster has no visual distinctiveness and no panache. It's the poster equivalent of wet, pasty cardboard.
If you have never heard of Joe Strummer (as I have not), then nothing in this preview will be of remote interst to you. It's a documentary about this punk icon that fails to really break out from petty, traditional fare.
Oscar doesn't tend to recognize documentaries about music especially since there is no politics involved. I don't see them altering that stance for this one.
I have not seen this film.
