John Cameron Mitchell’s genderfluid rock musical, based on his off-Broadway stage show, has been reuniting film audiences with their true selves for 25 years.
Raised a boy in East Berlin, Hedwig undergoes a personal transformation in order to emigrate to the U.S., where she reinvents herself as an ‘internationally ignored’ but divinely talented rock diva, inhabiting a ‘beautiful gender of one’.
Watch a cult-classic genderqueer musical in the best way – on the big screen.
“Filmed with ferocious energy and with enough sexual variety to match late Fellini … Mitchell electrifies the movie, with a performance that isn’t a satire of glam-rock performers so much as an authentic glam-rock performance.” – Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
