Editorial Review: Amazon.com: 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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - great buy, great movieThis movie arrived promptly, in great condition. I would definitely buy from this seller in the future Rating: - Hedwig and the Angry InchThis is one of the best movies I have ever seen. I actually rented it and kept it for a week and kept watching it over and over again and finally realised I had to buy it! I've had it for a couple of weeks now and have probably seen it another dozen times. The actor John Cameron Mitchell who plays Hedwig is AMAZING!!! He wrote the songs, sings the songs, directed the film and came up with the original idea of Hedwig. WOW!!! There is something special about this movie-it's like a drug. The songs are ...

I can't say that Hedwig is one of mine, but to each his own. Hedwig is an almost transgender, there is a botched operation. There is also a lot of music, which is humorous and entertaining. Its funny, not clean fun, but funny. Rating: - BrilliantThis movie is absolutely brilliant. John Cameron Mitchell is a legend and true artist of our time. Not only did he write and direct this movie, he also stars as a stunning Hedwig. After watching the behind the scenes documentary, that is also included with the dvd, you learn a lot of the main players from the first ever stage performance of Hewig are in the cast. The guitarist in the movie is actually songwriter for the musical book of the play, Stephen Trask. John Cameron Mitchell wrote the original ...

It's one of those movies in that every time you watch it, it gets better and better. My advice for those who don't get it is keep watching!! Browse for similar items by category:
