“The idea of making a movie that was about a local Irish band who weren’t signed, never released an album and were rapping in a language that not that many people spoke, doesn’t scream to you ‘hit movie’ territory,” [director] Peppiatt says. “It felt so niche and illogical to make a film about that. But that is the very reason to make this film. With “Kneecap,” he’s made a different kind of music movie, one that unfolds as it happens. “The idea of kind of doing a biopic in real time, [about] a band who are almost tracking what they’re doing as they’re doing it, was itself just a cool concept,” he says.
