Hedwig & The Angry Inch
In this decidely-offbeat musical, we follow the adventures of
a transvestite singer, who, as a result of a bad sex-change
operation was left with just an "angry inch" between
his legs. He strives for the same stardom accorded to his
successful former gay lover and protégé. Our hero grew up
in East Berlin, when it was still a divided city. He had
an unhappy childhood, and grew up confused about his sexuality.
He jumped at the opportunity when a U.S. serviceman offered to marry him and get him
out of the country, if he had a sex-change operation.
He eventually ended up alone and penniless in the U.S.
midwest, where he met the next man in his life, who became
his musical collaborator. After they split up, the lover
became a big star and started playing in front of arena
crowds, while our poor hero and his band continued to
toil in small clubs and bars. The film picks up where
he starts shadowing his former lover on his U.S. tour,
determined to get what he believes to be rightfully his -
a piece of the big time.90 minutes, No persons under 13. Comedy, Drama, Musical.
