man enough to be a woman

Rating: 8/10 (22 March 2005)

Plato's symposium and drag queen rock. This film is a refreshing burst of US creativity. It has heart and soul and great music. Check out Wayne/Jayne County for a taste of the 'real' thing. Hatti://www.jaynecounty.com/ A really enjoyable film and great cross dressing. Check out the girl who cross dresses as Hedwig's 'boyfriend' Yitshak. Other fabulous cultural references are the post post punk pretty boys and wonderful nostalgia to the bowie/read/pop days. Subversive and Broadway at the same time, camp and punk at the same time. A love story in reverse. The music is great. The DVD contains some great commentary. Hedwig is played with sensitivity and panache.
