| User ReviewMarkus MAn often visually spectacular and creative film, with engaging characters and drama. 8-/10 |
| User ReviewAri-Pekka KAs I like his music a lot, the "fairytale biography" of BADDING, famous rock / pop star in 70's and 80's really touched me. He was an artist who was too shy to sing, too sensitive to love, too ugly to be loved, but still everyone adored him. He died young, because of alcohol and drug abuse, without true friends. But his magical voice is for ever. I saw this first time in movie festival in a medieval castle on a beautiful summer evening and that experience really blew my mind. Rock on Badding :) |
