HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH
Special Features: 4K Restoration
Following its successful run off-Broadway, multi-hyphenate John Cameron Mitchell brought his daring, gender-bending punk musical to the big screen, where the film won the Directing and Audience Awards at Sundance along its way to becoming a bona fide cult classic. Mitchell stars as Hedwig, an East Berlin émigré who emerges from a traumatic transformation as an “internationally ignored song stylist.” But after her rocker boyfriend Tommy Gnosis runs off with her songs and becomes a star, Hedwig is left with an ax to grind and a story to tell. Mitchell and composer-lyricist Stephen Trask’s memorable punk anthems bring life to this rollicking, riotous and ultimately heartfelt journey of love and self-acceptance.
