sing archival performances, interviews with Bolan, Elton John, and Ringo Starr, and filmed musical interpretations by artists such as Nick Cave, John Cameron Mitchell, Joan Jett, U2, Lucinda Williams, and son Rolan Bolan, among others, Angelheaded Hipster explores the complexity and revolutionary music of Marc Bolan and T. Rex.
The film celebrates Bolan’s life as a glam rock pioneer, gender-bending free spirit, and explorer of punk and soul music. It goes from his teenage years digging through Carnaby Street dustbins with David Bowie to his stellar music career and last relationship with Gloria Jones, all through a new, unique and creative lens.
