Freddie Mercury & Queen DVD 2019


     Formed in London in 1970, Queen emerged almost fully formed.  They featured the classic line-up until the death of Freddie Mercury in 1991.  Others in the band were Brian May on lead guitar, Roger Taylor on drums and John Deacon on bass.  This band was unique in many ways because all the members contributed to the writing of the songs and the arrangements. It may have been the most democratic rock group ever.  In the beginning of their career in the 1970’s, they had their biggest hit, Bohemian Rhapsody.  A lot of rare film footage from the different periods of the band is shown  Also, archive interviews with band members and others pivotal to their success.  

     If you wanted to know everything Queen, this film has it all!!  Including, reviews about Queen from UK music critics and the different style of guitar playing by Brian May.  I thought this was interesting with a lot of depth.  4* (I really liked this film.)   

103 Min, release date June 7, 2019, Amazon 3* out of 5* with 5 reviews.

Note:  There is also another film with Rami Malek titled Bohemian Rhapsody 2918.  This film won four awards at the 91st Academy Awards for Best Actor, Best Film Editing, Best Sound Editing and Best Sound mixing.
