| Inhalt: |
Ein Dokumentation über einen Iegendären Radio-DJ in Los Angeles.
This wistful soft-edged portrait of Rodney Bingenheimer, the elfin, vacant-eyed waif who presided for more two decades as a social impresario of the Los Angeles rock scene, keeps its claws carefuIly retracted but still Ieaves a bitter aftertaste.
At the peak of his influence 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 fiIm cIips of Mr. Bingenheimer escorting beautifuI girIs and ceIebrities into his so-calIed EngIish disco,
the tiny Los AngeIes club he established during the heyday of British glam-rock. HolIywood is welI stocked with oddballs Iike 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 feel its chilIy pull.
— Stephen Holden, The New York Times |
