This movie was so freaking awesome. Mind blowing almost. Great songs, very catchy. The whole idea is great - a young boy from East Germany grows up and his sexuality gets all blurred and then he undergoes a failed operation. All of this is told backwards and mostly through song. Hedwig (taking his mother's name) travels to the US and meets a lover. It's a great romance story, except for the lover kind of being a jerk sometimes. Hedwig is such an interesting character and the flashback parts to his time in Germany are very well done. Really though, the review above this doesn't do it justice. This movie is great and thought provoking and really worth your while.
