Product Description:
THIS IS THE STORY OF HEDWIG, AN AMBITIOUS GLAM-ROCKER WHO COMES TO AMERICA DETERMINED TO FIND FAME, FORTUNE AND HIS OTHER HALF.
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

- Stunning, simply stunning
I watched this film originally for a class, but needless to say I was breathless and in near tears at the end!The story isn't in the movie, it is in the music; the lyrics tell the story of Hedgewig and express her loss, her anger, everything about her.The end is kind of abrupt, but if the viewer sits and thinks for a minute it is deep and touching.I can't wait to recieve my copy.
I don't dicredit those who saw the movie as bizaar, it could be seen as a little OTT, but it all fits Hedgewig ... Read More

Rating: - Souful rock and roll soujourn
Hedwig is a wild ride in to the life of the leading character.This journey is filled with razzle dazzle and great music.More than that it is a multilayered look in to the life of Hedwig his pain and struggle.The struggle to find and live your truth is one we all share regardless of the circumstance.John Cameron Mitchell's performance is outstanding it is easy to see why this film had the Golden Globes paying attention.
Rating: - Transsexuals Love to Rock!!!
I thought this was a pretty good movie! Hedwig had an awesome singing voice and looked extremely sexy dressed as a girl. Throughout the film, Hedwig tells us his/her life story starting from East Berlin, to getting a sex change so he/she can get married and go to America, loving a teenager named Tommy Speck / Tommy Gnosis, who steals Hedwig's songs. Hedwig follows Tommy around to give him a lawsuit. If you love rock musicals, and transsexuals, you'll love HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH!!!
