I saw SEARCHING FOR SUGAR MAN last night in a regular commercial Regal movie theater with a Sony 4k projector. Wow, how nice to see a good doc on a great screen with great audio. So glad to see docs getting some decent venues lately.
Did a search here looking for more info on the Sundance audience winner and haven't seen anyone mention it, so thought I'd recommend it.
SEARCHING FOR SUGAR MAN, by Swedish director Malik Bendjelloul, is a quest story. Some South African fans of 1970's Detroit musician 'Rodriguez', (bigger than Elvis and the Beatles in SA but in total obscurity in the US,) try to find out what happened to the "better than Dylan" voice that fueled revolt against apartheid. Well-told story that holds your attention and it has great music. Good production values. Not challenging, so ranks high in entertainment value.
Interesting to see how they put the story together with a slow reveal yet managed to keep it engaging. Great use of animation in some scenes.
The official trailer on YouTube is ad-ridden, so here's one with subtitles (movie is in English.)
