Hedwig and the Angry Inch is out on 21st of Jan. It sounds like one of the weirdest films ever made... read this synopsis from Blackstar:
Based on the smash hit New York show, Hedwig And The Angry Inch is a high-energy rock musical in the tradition of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Hedwig (John Cameron Mitchell) is born Hansel in East Germany to a German woman and an American GI who molested him as a boy. Hansel he remains until he meets Luther, a US soldier who proposes marriage and promises a new life in Kansas, USA. To marry and evade immigration Hansel has a sex operation. The operation goes wrong and the newly created Hedwig is left with a one inch mound of flesh. Deserted by her sugar daddy upon their arrival to Kansas, she forms a band with Korean wives - Hedwig And The Angry Inch is born.
Captivated by the band's performance, teen fan Tommy Gnosis, a naive young boy who until meeting Hedwig had only Jesus as an influence in his life, becomes Hedwig's lover/protege until he steals her songs and is propelled to megastardom. With a newly formed pan Slavonic band, an even more bitter Hedwig shadows Tommy's US tour, performing glam rock numbers in garish costumes to bemused diners in virtually empty restaurants. Through a collage of songs, animation and flashbacks, Hedwig's anguish, dreams and life story evolve as she continues in her quest to substitute being internationally ignored with becoming internationally recognised as the creative force behind Gnosis

I think it sounds cool..

Did this not come out ages ago? I ended up watching it on VCD after it got a good review in Empire or Total Film (or maybe both). Worth a watch anyway.

hmmm I've not seen it yet, but i thought it was more Spinal Tap than arthouse. I do like those types of films though. Believe me, I've watched the 3 colours trilogy twice :-) and one day I will write a long post about why they are a better trilogy than star wars. But I must wait until the force is strong.

I think I'll give it a miss thanks.
Does sound rather cool actually. I'm going to keep an open mind on this though, it could easily go sour.

But it sounds cool to those of us who don't immediately associate Hedwig with Harry Potter. Which is what I've just done...
