Hedwig and the Angry Inch (2001) with John Cameron Mitchell in person!

With director and star John Cameron Michell in person to do Q&A after the film!

Mitchell directs and stars in the outrageous and ebullient film adaptation of his own “post-punk neo-glam rock musical,” an Off-Broadway sensation about East German expatriate rocker Hedwig (Mitchell) who, raised a boy in East Berlin, undergoes a traumatic personal transformation in order to emigrate to the U.S., where she reinvents herself as an “internationally ignored” but divinely talented rock diva, characterized by Mitchell as inhabiting a “beautiful gender of one.” The film tells Hedwig’s story through her music, an eclectic assortment of original punk anthems and power ballads by Stephen Trask, matching them with a freewheeling cinematic mosaic of music-video fantasies, animated interludes, and moments of bracing emotional realism. A hard-charging song cycle and a tender character study, HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH is a tribute to the transcendent power of rock n’ roll.
