Robyn Hitchcock: Sex, Food, Death…and Insects Directed by John Edginton, 2008

Legendary underground cult artist Robyn Hitchcock reveals his creative process as never before in ROBYN HITCHCOCK: SEX, FOOD, DEATH… AND INSECTS.

This Sundance Channel original production chronicles the origins of Robyn’s forthcoming album (and features eight brand-new songs), the formation of his band the Venus 3, and their U.S. tour. Famed for his twisted rock lyrics that are at once blithe, scathing and deep, Robyn is one of England’s most influential songwriters and performers–and has a body of work spanning over 20 albums and three decades. Joined in music and conversation by friends and bandmates like, Peter Buck, Bill Rieflin, and Scott McCaughey (REM, Minus 5), Chris Ballew (Presidents Of The USA), John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin), Nick Lowe, Gillian Welch & David Rawlings, Morris Windsor (Soft Boys, Egyptians), and Ruby Wright, Robyn’s creative genius runs wild in a free-flowing musical interview that gives us an unprecedented glimpse into his mind and craft.
