Adrian McCarthy's new documentary 'Gilbert O'Sullivan – Out on His Own' examines the change of fortunes that the Waterford born pop singer has experienced in his long career. Iftn caught up with the 'Crash' director to discuss the two-year making of the documentary - which Gilbert O'Sullivan has said he will never watch. In the early 1970s Gilbert O'Sullivan was top of the international pop charts. His career began to wane in the mid-70's and by the time he came out of a long legal dispute with his manager Gordon Mills, he had drifted into relative obscurity. 'Gilbert O'Sullivan – Out on his Own', a new documentary from Adrian McCarthy that screens as part of the Ifi's Stranger than Fiction festival this week examines the complex man underneath the unruly mass of curly hair.
