<div style="font-size: 12pt; direction: ltr; font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Before the hits came the hustle. &nbsp;</div><div style="font-size: 12pt; direction: ltr; font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></div><div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Part mockumentary, part time capsule, entirely unrepeatable, <i>Madness: Take It Or Leave It </i>is the brilliantly chaotic, funny and unique story of how seven Camden mates became one of Britain's best-loved bands.</div><div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></div><div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Made at the height of Madness mania, the film throws out the rulebook. There's no polished script, no actors pretending to be the band, just Suggs, Bedders, El Thommo, Chas Smash, Woody, Chrissy Boy and Barzo playing themselves, reliving the rows, laughs, line-up changes, lucky breaks and legendary gigs that gave birth to the unmistakable Nutty Sound.</div><div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></div><div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Shot largely on location, including at Camden's legendary Dublin Castle, the film captures the streets, pubs and venues that shaped Madness, while the soundtrack is wall-to-wall classics including One Step Beyond, Night Boat to Cairo, My Girl, Baggy Trousers and Embarrassment.</div><div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dave Robinson's gritty and hilarious feature stands alongside A Hard Day's Night and Slade in Flame as one of the great British pop movies.</div><div style="font-size: 12pt; direction: ltr; font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></div><div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>★★★★&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 12pt;">‘A remarkably vivid record of a particular British pop moment’&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Meredith Taylor, Filmuforia</span></b></div>DocumentaryPT1H23M12A2026-10-02GBen
