Customer Reviews
Average Rating: Rating: - Nice, uh, package First off, "Hedwig" is a joy of a film with great songs -- from the hard-rocking "Tear Me Down" to the brilliant "Origin of Love" to the camp anthem "Wig in the Box." Like a lot of musicals, and a lot of films, for that matter, it gets a teensy bit wobbly toward the end, but so what? Mitchell's performance is great, the movie is hilariously original, and Hedwig's quest is honestly quite moving. But best of all, the DVD package is great. It includes a 90 minute documentary that's an outstanding complement to the feature, practically as enjoyable as the movie itself. I liked the year's other reinvention of the musical ("Moulin Rouge") and its DVD release as well. But of the two films, "Hedwig" is far superior, with a real emotional core and brand new point of view. Rating: - A Movie That Looks Great in Wigs I see a light on the horizon. A light that I have not seen in a long time. And that light, my friends is the genre of Movie Musicals. Finally after almost a 10 year dormancy. the genre is coming back and this movie is one of the best movie musicals I've seen in a long time. Based on one of the most risque Off-broadway musicals, This production was adapted, directed, and even starring John Cameron Mitchell one of the shows original creators. Mitchell has managed to adapt his work with seeming ease. The camera working is colorful, energetic, and intense. It doesn't miss any of the important details, and manages to make every scene a unique experience. The Story goes like this... Hansel, a homosexal, east german boy, is eager to escape the opressive atmosphere of East Germany. One day he meets a soldier. They want to get married and escape to America. But unfortunately Hansel needs a sex change operation. The operation is botched, leaving him with the so called "Angry Inch". well upon arrival in Kansas. The now titled "Hedwig" is abandoned by his husband. Well soon afterwards we follow Hedwig's turbulent rise to glory as a rock star. Mitchell's work on this film is truly visionary, as well as original, striking, moving, and brilliant. You don't often see a film that will mercilessly tell a story with such sensitive subject matter. While at the same time dare to make a film from a genre that most cinematic ignoramuses think is dead and gone. WELL Guess what you pathetic "Freddy Got Fingered" fans. Your immature flatulence jokes will never reign as long as there are independent filmmakers, daring to make films that the neutered Hollywood Studios wouldn't dare to touch! Do yourself a favor, forget the multiplexes, go find yourself a small independent film theatre and see this exciting and inventive movie musical!!! Be sides, it's not like Hollywood has the gall to make anything original. Rating: - Hedwig Is A Hit... The fabled rock star, Hedwig (hence, the wig-wearing lead character) played remarkably by writer-director John Cameron Mitchell, is rocket-blasted through this off-broadway musical turned film. With most of the rock performances being played and filmed live, the energy packs a wallop of rock 'n roll punch akin to Meatloaf meets Bowie meets Sweet, etc, etc. Surprisingly enough, the music is really good! With songs that tell the tale's past and motivate the characters through the story, I found myself humming tunes after the film's ending and 'toe-tapping' all through it. With a great supporting cast of 'characters', we find our downtrodden rock star muddling through the salad bars of america performing all the hits that an ex-flame stole (and consequently performs nightly in whatever 'arena' atmosphere is nearby). Trying to get her name recognized for hits, she stalks ex-beau, Tommy Gnosis to catch a glimmer of the fame his has with her songs. Of course the 'her' in this story was actually a 'him' from East Berlin. Through a botched sex-change operation, (hence the title of the film) he has a confusing past of angry and bitter memories to conquer before finding his true self and a 'piece' (pardon the pun) of personal fame. With amazing glam-era songs and fun, (sometimes very funny) lively musical numbers, Hedwig is a real hit.
