Creation Stories
Directed by Nick Moran
★★★★
WITH an opening disclaimer — “Most of this happened, some of the names have been changed to protect the guilty” — Creation Stories tells the unforgettable tale of the man behind Britpop, and founder of the infamous Creation Records label, Alan McGee.
This is the man who discovered and championed (among others) Primal Scream, The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Libertines and, of course, Oasis.
