Short description
Raised a boy in East Berlin, Hedwig undergoes a personal transformation in order to emigrate to the U.S., where she reinvents herself as an “internationally ignored” but divinely talented rock diva, inhabiting a “beautiful gender of one.”
What's left behind the scenes
- Unlike most musical films, many of the musical pieces here are performed live on camera. Director and lead actor John Cameron Mitchell disliked the idea of having to synchronize sound to the image later, so the band recorded the songs in the studio, after which the music was played in front of the camera, and Mitchell sang for real.
- John Cameron Mitchell had to wear so much makeup that after lunch he would return to his trailer, shave while still in makeup, and then go to the makeup artists to have it touched up before returning to the set.
- In the film, the character Miriam Shor is shown wearing a hoodie with the inscription “Rent,” and later she auditions for a role in Chris Columbus’s melodramatic musical “Rent” (2005, released as “Rent” in English-speaking markets). In reality, director John Cameron Mitchell was offered this very role, but he declined because he was filming “Hedwig and the Angry Inch” at the time.
