Plot Synopsis

Le Donk & Scor-zay-zee

Le Donk & Scor-Zay-Zee is an improvised comedy, shot over five days by Shane Meadows, devised with and starring Paddy Considine. This low-budget fly-on-the-wall mockumentary is an ode to spontaneous filmmaking. It’s endearing and occasionally as toe-curlingly funny as ‘The Office’, but frequently meandering.

Rock roadie and aspiring svengali, Le Donk (Considine) has lived, loved and learned – or so he believes. Along the way he’s lost a girlfriend (Olivia Colman) and his life has turned to shit. But, he has found a new sidekick in up-and-coming Nottingham rap prodigy Scor-zay-zee (playing himself). With Meadows’ fly-on-the-wall crew in tow, Donk sets out to make Scor-zay-zee (and himself) a star…with a little help from the Arctic Monkeys.
