Om denne film

MYSTIFY MICHAEL HUTCHENCE is a powerfully intimate and insightful portrait of the internationally renowned frontman of INXS, Michael Hutchence. Deftly woven from an extraordinary archive of rich imagery, Michael’s private home movies and those of his lovers, friends, and family, the film delves beneath the public persona of the charismatic ‘Rock God’ and transports us through the looking glass to reveal a multifaceted, intensely sensitive and complex man. A violent event strikes Michael and changes his life dramatically, fracturing his sense of self and robbing him of his connection to life. Amidst the darkness, Michael’s newborn daughter, Tiger, becomes his one bright light. MYSTIFY MICHAEL HUTCHENCE is written and directed by Richard Lowenstein, director of the majority of both INXS and Michael's music videos and the 1986 feature film, DOGS IN SPACE, in which Michael played the lead.

Bedømmelser og anmeldelser

As an INXS fan from way back, I was shocked by Michael's death. 22 years later, I've found Richard Lowenstein's film to be the closest we can get to any kind of closure.

I cried . What a very sad lose to the world. So sad but the music and the man . Unforgettable

So very sad. He had such talent. Gone too soon.
