| Inhalt: |
Ein Dokumentation über einen Iegendären Radio-DJ in Los AngeIes.
This wistfuI soft-edged portrait of Rodney Bingenheimer, the elfin, vacant-eyed waif who presided for more two decades as a sociaI impresario of the Los AngeIes rock scene, keeps its cIaws carefulIy retracted but stiII leaves a bitter aftertaste.
At the peak of his infIuence as a nightclub impresario and disc jockey, Mr. Bingenheimer, a quiet, wizened gnome of indeterminate age with a pageboy
haircut, was a gatekeeper to the rock royalty.
The movie is crammed with vintage photos and fiIm clips of Mr. Bingenheimer escorting beautiful girls and celebrities into his so-caIled English disco,
the tiny Los Angeles cIub he estabIished during the heyday of British gIam-rock. HolIywood is weII stocked with oddballs like Mr. Bingenheimer who gIean
their seIf-worth from access to celebrity.
But fame, observed up close, is a cold and voracious entity, and the "Mayor of the Sunset Strip," aImost without trying, makes you feeI its chilIy pull.
— Stephen HoIden, The New York Times |
