Celebrating the tenth-anniversary of the unforgettable Academy Award-winning music documentary SEARCHING FOR SUGAR MAN. Rodriguez was the greatest 70s rock icon who never was. Momentarily hailed as the finest recording artist of his generation, he disappeared into oblivion rising again from the ashes in a completely different context a continent away… SEARCHING FOR SUGAR MAN is a film about hope, inspiration, and the resonating power of music.
Critics Reviews:
- “All music docs are not created equal. Yes, some are formulaic. But some are beautiful, some are singular, some are marvels of storytelling. And some, like Searching for Sugar Man, are all three.” – New Orleans Times-Picayune
- “The information they eventually dislodge about Rodriguez suggests a secular saint, a deeply good man, whose music is the expression of a blessed inner being. I hope you're able to see this film. You deserve to. And yes, it exists because we need for it to.” – Roger Ebert
- “A musical detective story, this enthralling documentary focuses on a little-known American musician whose haunting voice and poetic lyrics were essentially unknown in his own country, but had a massive impact across the globe.” – USA Today
- “Rodriguez's story is almost inconceivable in an obsessively magnified, heavily hyped Internet era. Which makes it all the more important to be shared. Listen, be moved, and pass it on.” – New York Daily News
- “A hugely appealing documentary about fans, faith and an enigmatic Age of Aquarius musician who burned bright and hopeful before disappearing.” – New York Times
