Mystify: Michael Hutchence [INXS] (BLU)
Richard Lowenstein
Synopsis
Michael Hutchence was one of rock's most dynamic and charismatic frontmen who captivated the world as the lead singer of INXS. But underneath it all he was a poetic, multifaceted and intensely sensitive man who struggled with the idea of success and the creative limits of pop. Crafted from an extraordinary archive of rich imagery and never-before-seen footage, this fascinating documentary from director Richard Lowenstein offers a powerfully intimate and insightful portrait of the legendary singer's all-too-brief life and the undying legacy that emerged. A powerfully intimate and electric journey into the frontman of what was once the biggest band in the world, Mystify Michael Hutchence reveals a singular talent's dance with both the bright light and deep darkness within.
