I'm the new Berlin Wall , Baby!!This movie is phenomenal! I was a bit suspicious at first. When I heard the title I thought it was a Harry Potter spin off novel, but when I heard it was a Broadway show I got pretty excited. Now I can't stop watching it! I can't get over how amazing the music is too. I have the original Broadway album with Neil Patrick Harris and Lena Hall and I can't stop listening to it!! I really want to be Hedwig on Broadway now! "I'm the new Berlin Wall baby, try to tear my down!".Zach_RiotScore: 5/5
He(a)d (straight to see) Wig and the Angry InchA laugh-out-loud funny, poignant, tragic, triumphant, sing-a-long adventure of one of the most enjoyably memorable, dynamic, and well-developed characters EVER! The lead-singer and musical genius, Hedwig, relives her backstory through her band’s gigs at suburban strip-mall salad bars throughout middle America. Extremely engaging and my personal #1 favorite film... ever... and I have excellent taste!.RamonabluScore: 5/5

Got more than expectedNo previous knowledge of the off-Broadway musical but have heard about this movie and finally got a chance to rent it. Thought it was worth every minute. Songs and lyrics - awesome. Costumes and choreography - awesome. Acting - superb.
Even though some of the songs were a bit heavy rock for me, i still appreciated the feelings and story behind the lyrics. I wouldn’t say it’s fall on the floor funny but there are definitely some funny quirky moments in the film.
It’s a great story of hardship to triumph..MobstewScore: 5/5

Särmikäs, yllätyksillä ja jykevällä musiikilla ladattu draamakomedia jossa Itäberliiniläinen punk-rokkari Hansel (John Cameron Mitchell) leikkauttaa itsestään naisen, rakastuu amerikkalaiseen sotilaaseen, pakenee tämän kanssa Yhdysvaltoihin ja perustaa glam rock -bändin.
Français Hedwig Schmidt, un transsexuel allemand, est la star du rock la plus étonnante et la plus méconnue du monde. Avec son groupe, elle sillonne les Etats-Unis de restaurants miteux en halls de centres commerciaux. Pourtant, chacune de ses chansons révèle son incroyable destin et sa vision du monde. Hedwig raconte, en chansons, son enfance est-allemande, sa solitude, son opération de changement de sexe et ses passions. Elle poursuit également le célébrissime Tommy Gnosis, le jeune homme qu'elle a tant aimé et pour qui elle a composé certaines musiques.
Português Hedwig, cantora de rock`n roll, nasceu homem e se chamava Hansel, cresceu com sua mãe na Alemanha Oriental e passou a maior parte de seu tempo ouvindo a Rádio das Forças Armadas Americanas. Quando tinha apenas seis anos, sua mãe, uma mulher amarga que dava aulas de escultura a deficientes, contou a ele uma história sobre a origem do amor. A história era baseada num mito grego segundo o qual, originalmente, as pessoas eram dotadas de dois pares de braços e de pernas, e de dois rostos. Acontece que os deuses temiam seu poder e, então, Zeus lançou um raio que dividiu as pessoas em duas e as condenou a vagar pela Terra procurando suas metades perdidas. O sentimento que se tinha ao encontrar a outra metade era o amor. Desse dia em diante, Hedwig decidiu que encontraria sua metade perdida.
Español Hedwig se sometió a una operación de cambio de sexo que le permitió casarse con un soldado americano y alcanzar la libertad al otro lado del Muro de Berlín. Sin embargo, la operación salió mal y Hedwig se quedó con esa “pulgada irritada” (“angry inch”) que da nombre a la película. En un parque de caravanas de Kansas, Hedwig decidió formar un grupo de rock. Así conoció a Tommy Gnosis, un joven que fue su amante y protegido antes de abandonarla, robarle sus canciones y triunfar como estrella del rock. Acompañada de su grupo paneslavo, “The Angry Inch”, siguió a Tommy en su gira, tocando en locales medio vacíos. Por medio de un collage de canciones, flashbacks e imágenes animadas, Hedwig cuenta la historia de su vida e intenta sacar partido de la prensa amarilla que se interesa por ella por haber sido amante del famoso cantante de rock Tommy Gnosis.

Português Hedwig é uma cantora de rock que nasceu homem, na Alemanha Oriental, e se chamava Hansel. Criado ouvindo uma rádio norte-americana, Hansel só tinha duas certezas na vida: de que seria uma estrela de rock e que um dia encontraria sua alma gêmea. Quando conhece Luther, recruta americano que promete casar-se e levá-lo para os Estados Unidos, Hansel pensa que chegou sua vez de ser feliz. Contudo, para que seu sonho se realize, é obrigado a submeter-se a uma cirurgia de troca de sexo. Hansel torna-se Hedwig, muda-se para a América e forma uma banda de rock. Mas este é apenas o primeiro capítulo de uma história ao mesmo tempo dramática e engraçada, permeada por amores arrebatadores, amargas desilusões e rock do bom.
Deutsch Hedwig tourt mit ihrer Band durch die amerikanischen Lande und tritt vor mickrigem Publikum in Clubs und Restaurants auf. Mit im Gepäck die Songs, die ihr Ex-Lover ihr geklaut hat. Hedwig ist transsexuell und erzählt uns vom Suchen der Liebe, von ihrer Kindheit und Jugend, von ihren Träumen. Hedwig war früher nur ein armer schwuler Junge, der aus Ost-Berlin raus wollte. Da traf er den süßen amerikanischen GI (ein historisch wohl etwas unsinniges, aber aufgrund der sonst guten Story zu vernachlässigendes Detail) heiratet ihn und wandert in die USA aus. Das Problem: Voraussetzung war eine Geschlechtsumwandlung. Und was nach dem Pfusch vom Tage übrig blieb war ein "angry inch". Und so ist Hedwig weder wirklich Frau, noch ein ganzer Mann. Und auch kein ganzer Rockstar, weil Tommy Gnosis, ihr bereits erwähnter Ex, mit ihren Songs Karriere macht und ihr nur die schäbigen Lokale bleiben, um abzurocken. Doch das tut sie! Hedwig rocks!
Nederlands Hedwig is in Oost-Berlijn geboren als de jongen Hansel. Hij werd verliefd op een Amerikaanse soldaat, en onderging een sex-operatie om met hem te kunnen trouwen en naar het westen te vluchten. Helaas is het niet helemaal naar wens verlopen: jaren later tourt Hedwig met haar rockband door de States, en vertelt ze haar levensverhaal tussen de concerten door.
Magyar Hedwig, a rockénekes Hanselként született, és nehéz körülmények között nőtt fel. Hansel találkozik a jóképű amerikai katonával. A férfi azt ígéri, magával viszi Amerikába, egy feltétellel, ha nővé operáltatja magát. Az operáció azonban nem sikerül, így a nevét Hedwigre változtató Hansel kilátástalan helyzetbe kerül. Hedwig mindenféle munkát elvállal, hogy megéljen, miközben énekesnőként is fellép. Megismerkedik a tizenhat éves, vallásos Tommyval. Összebarátkoznak, ám Tommy ellopja Hedwig dalait, és igazi rocksztár lesz belőle, amiről Hedwig mindig is álmodott.
Slovenčina Hedwig sa narodila ako chlapec. Pre lásku sa podujala na zmenu pohlavia, operácia sa však neskončila úspechom a jej telo zostalo kdesi na pomedzí medzi mužským a ženským. Odhodlaná bojovať o lepší život sa stáva frontmankou rockovej kapely a v kultovom filmovom muzikáli neváha vyspievať fanúšikom svoj životný príbeh.
Pусский В центре сюжета Хедвиг — амбициозный рок-певец из Восточной Германии, который мечтает переехать в Америку, чтобы добиться славы и богатства и найти свою любовь.

Català Hedwig es va sotmetre a una operació de canvi de sexe que li va permetre casar-se amb un soldat americà i assolir la llibertat a l'altra banda del Mur de Berlín. Tot i això, l'operació va sortir malament i Hedwig es va quedar amb aquesta “polzada irritada” (“angry inch”) que dóna nom a la pel·lícula. En un parc de caravanes de Kansas, Hedwig va decidir formar un grup de rock. Així va conèixer Tommy Gnosis, un jove que va ser el seu amant i protegit abans d'abandonar-la, robar-li les seves cançons i triomfar com a estrella del rock. Acompanyada del seu grup paneslau, The Angry Inch, va seguir Tommy en la seva gira, tocant en locals mig buits. Per mitjà d'un collage de cançons, flashbacks i imatges animades, Hedwig explica la història de la seva vida i intenta treure partit de la premsa groga que s'hi interessa per haver estat amant del famós cantant de rock Tommy Gnosis.

John Cameron Mitchell’s SHORTBUS explores the lives of several emotionally challenged characters as they navigate the comic and tragic intersections between love and sex in and around a modern-day underground salon. A sex therapist who has never had an orgasm, a dominatrix who is unable to connect, a gay couple who are deciding whether to open up their relationship, and the people who weave in and out of their lives, all converge on a weekly gathering called Shortbus: a mad nexus of art, music, politics, and polysexual carnality. Set in a post-9/11, Bush-exhausted New York City, SHORTBUS tells its story with sexual frankness, suggesting new ways to reconcile questions of the mind, pleasures of the flesh, and imperatives of the heart.

Yet, as off track as they are, the couple keeps trying to find their way back to a life that still holds the potential for beauty, laughter and happiness.The resulting journey is an intimate glimpse into two people learning to re-engage with each other and a world that has been tilted off its axis.
