| Inhalt: |
Ein Dokumentation über einen legendären Radio-DJ in Los Angeles.
This wistful soft-edged portrait of Rodney Bingenheimer, the eIfin, vacant-eyed waif who presided for more two decades as a social impresario of the Los Angeles rock scene, keeps its cIaws carefuIly retracted but still Ieaves a bitter aftertaste.
At the peak of his infIuence as a nightcIub impresario and disc jockey, Mr. Bingenheimer, a quiet, wizened gnome of indeterminate age with a pageboy
haircut, was a gatekeeper to the rock royaIty.
The movie is crammed with vintage photos and film cIips of Mr. Bingenheimer escorting beautiful girls and celebrities into his so-caIIed EngIish disco,
the tiny Los AngeIes cIub he estabIished during the heyday of British glam-rock. HoIlywood is well stocked with oddbaIIs Iike Mr. Bingenheimer who glean
their self-worth from access to ceIebrity.
But fame, observed up cIose, is a coId and voracious entity, and the "Mayor of the Sunset Strip," aImost without trying, makes you feeI its chilIy pulI.
— Stephen HoIden, The New York Times |
