HEDWIG
AND THE ANGRY INCH
Omigod! With as much electrical power as a Megadeth
concert in August, "Hedwig" pushes the envelope and
pleases the palate with a colorful and unapologetic
story that will burn in your memory banks. In fact,
I was so impressed by the voracity of this off-Broadway
musical turned feature film, I've told everybody I
know to grab this baby.
With an appeal that's Rocky Horror-ish in scope and
Tommy-esque in tunes, this film takes a firm hold
of you from moment one, sending you on a musical Oz-like
journey with an amazing talent, the film's writer,
director and star, John Cameron Mitchell. He's brilliant.
And the film's musical director (Stephen Trask) is
a real gem as well. Trust me, I loved this movie and
its music so much, I rushed out and bought the soundtrack
and DVD! A definite must see!! Rating: 5.0 Martinis
