The Musical World of Rocky Horror

Hedwig and the Angry Inch Movie (Title)

A rock musical from 2001 that is well-loved by many Rocky Horror Picture Show fans. Much like Rocky Horror itself, Hedwig developed from an obscure stage play, is centered around a transvestite (or possibly transsexual) figure, developed a cult-like following in the theater, spawned a movie version, and has since inspired midnight showings in many areas complete with audience participation and (occasionally) shadowcasts. Get Hed!

Amazon.com DVD Review: Sometimes grace and hope come in surprising packages. The title character of Hedwig and the Angry Inch, a would-be glam-rock star from East Germany, undergoes a botched gender-change operation in order to escape from the Soviet bloc, only to watch the Berlin Wall come down on TV after being abandoned in a trailer park in middle America. Hedwig gets involved with Tommy, an adolescent boy who steals her songs and becomes a stadium-filling musical act. Suffering from a broken heart and a lust for revenge, Hedwig follows Tommy's tour, playing with her band (the Angry Inch) at tacky theme restaurants. Into this simple storyline, writer-director-star John Cameron Mitchell packs an astonishing mix of sadness, yearning, humor, and kick-ass songs with a little Platonic philosophy tucked inside for good measure. A visually dazzling gem of a movie. --Bret Fetzer
