Angelheaded Hipster: The Songs of Marc Bolan & T Rex – music documentary – 12
Dir. Ethan Silverman
2023 – 95 mins – US – Language: English.
Angelheaded Hipster is the first documentary to explore the complex and revolutionary music and lyrics of Marc Bolan and T. Rex. This film (‘A must-see look at the life of a true British icon’ – Rolling Stone), uses archival performances, interviews with Bolan, Elton John and Ringo Starr, plus filmed musical interpretations by artists such as Nick Cave, John Cameron Mitchell, Joan Jett, Macy Gray, U2, Lucinda Williams, Father John Misty, and son Rolan Bolan among others; this documentary creates an exuberant and thoughtful examination of a true original: a glam rock pioneer, gender-bending free spirit and explorer of punk and soul music.
Every bit as explosive, visceral and unique as Bolan himself
