Hedwig and the Angry Inch was quite an interesting film which at first didn't feel like anything special. Although, if you've read the screenplay it obviously let one know that the actual story is quite interesting (personally, I preferred reading the screenplay before watching the actual film).
The film is basically about Hedwig (John Cameron Mitchell) touring with her band in the States and at the same time following her ex-boyfriend, who stole her songs and thus became a famous singer. Through the song the main character tells her life-story starting from her origins, East Germany. The story is pretty unusual in a good way full of witty lines and besides believable acting the film has animation parts, which pretty much complete the story (in my opinion).
Check out the trailer and yeah, this isn't a must-watch (in my opinion although all the awards might speak differently) but definitely a good way to spend time. So, if this comes off as your kind of film make sure to take a look.
Directed and written by John Cameron Mitchell
