Sugar Man

MusiqueDocumentaire

2012, 1h 25min

Au début des années 70, Sixto Rodriguez enregistre deux albums sur un label de Motown. C'est un échec, à tel point qu’on raconte qu’il se serait suicidé sur scène. Plus personne n’entendit parler de Rodriguez. Sauf en Afrique du Sud où, sans qu’il le sache, son disque devint un symbole de la lutte contre l’Apartheid. Des années plus tard, deux fans du Cap partent à la recherche de “Sugar Man”. Ce qu’ils découvrent est une histoire faite de surprises, d’émotions et d’inspiration.

Like its subject’s music, the first half of Searching For Sugar Man can be hauntingly sad, but in its second, the story morphs from tragedy to triumph.

...Virkeligheden overgår fiktionen; den helt igennem fantastiske og rørende historie om singer-songwriter’en Rodriguez er også et eksempel på en historie, hvor virkeligheden bliver ved med at overgå sig selv.
