beresfordjd An interesting piece, this documentary trots out a succession of pseuds and "artists" to express their ideas on Leigh Bowery. Sure he was a sort of original supreme exhibitionist where "getting ready became an art form" as someone says in the course of this. It's a little pathetic the desperation of that clique of people who would go so far in order to be different or original or outrageous. It amazes me how the media fall for this stuff over and over again-they are so gullible- Maclaren, Westwood, Boy George even as far back as Loog Oldham, they have all taken the "meeja" for a lucrative ride and the people have gone along with it. Just because it's outlandish does not make it good, interesting or ART. The arts community are responsible for condoning this and making it acceptable-I just find it boring and immature. You CAN fool a lot of the people a lot of the time. All this said it is a good documentary which tells the tale and holds the interest.

iam-69 The best attempt so far to capture the life and work of Leigh Bowery in film. Particularly interesting are clips from the early Eighties - ie the South of Watford sequence - showing Bowery with four key figures in his life - Trojan, Michael Clark, Rachel Auburn and the legendary flat itself complete with Star Trek wallpaper. A must see for anyone interested in this artist or 80's club land in London.The notion that his life culminated in portraits by Lucien Freud (featured in the film) is bizarre and laughable. The man had established himself as an international icon and darling of the avant garde years earlier.

jrobin6301 I saw this movie before i had ever heard about Leigh Bowery and this movie really documented his life and career it was really interesting and it showed a lot of his outlandish works of art Leigh was born in Australia and he was a fay fashion designer many of his works shocked and horrified . He was an infamous clubber and had amazing stage presence. Whether he was in gallery showing himself, nude, or giving birth to full grown women ha always had an amazing outlandish was to shock anyone. There are appearances by Boy Goerge , Rosie O'Donnel and Lucian Freud of which Leigh was his muse. if you haven't ever heard of Leigh or if you have and want to know more about him and what he was about then this is a great movie for you

Havan_IronOak Leigh Bowery was a London Club Kid of Australian origins who made a nightclub's night simply by entering the club. His outrageous costumes were always over the top and once you've seen one of his looks you'll never forget him.The movie has a lot of performance footage of him at clubs as well as interviews with Boy George as well as many who knew him more closely. (including his Salvation Army parents)This film not only gives you an idea of the man but also invokes an era that was unique and will not come again.
