Sixto Diaz Rodriguez was a Detroit folksinger and songwriter in the
1970’s. The critics respected him
for his song writing but the public did not buy the two albums he released. In apartheid ruled South Africa, his
songs gave the anti-apartheid groups hope that they could win against the
establishment. He was also very popular
in Australia. Two South African
music lovers set out to find what happed to Rodriguez because there are a lot
of rumors concerning his fate.
This is interesting and I did like his style of music and his
writing. One of the men working
with him on his albums thought he was better than Bob Dylan. Seems slightly stretched and repetitive
to fill a longer time span than really needed. 3* (This movie is OK)
87 min, Doc directed by Malik Bendjelloul with Sixto Diaz
Rodriguez, Stephen ‘Sugar’ Sergerman, Dennis Coffey, Mike Theodore, Dan
DiMaggio, Jerome Feretti.
Note:
Blockbuster 4*, imdb 8.1 out of 10, 96% critic 93% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
