Plot Summary:
Hedwig, born a boy named Hansel in East Berlin, fell in love with an American G.I. and underwent a sex-change operation in order to marry him and flee to the West. Unfortunately, nothing worked out quite as it was supposed to - years later, Hedwig is leading her rock band on a tour of the U.S., telling her life story through a series of concerts at Bilgewater Inn seafood restaurants. Her tour dates coincide with those of arena-rock star Tommy Gnosis, a wide-eyed boy who once loved Hedwig... but then left with all her songs.

MPAA: Rated R for sexual content and language.
Runtime: 95 min / Argentina:93 min
Country: USA
Language: English / German
Color: Color

AmQ�s Movie Rating:
4.5* out of 5*
A REVELATION.
No movie after ROCKY HORROR PICTURE had an actor playing a transvestite created a character with such passion and life. John Cameron Mitchell is awesome as Hedwig. A truly enjoyable film. Watch out for the song lyrics that would make you sing a long. Soundtrack is a plus.
