A feature-length documentary dedicated to Michael Hutchence (1960-1997), the complicated and fragile lead singer of the Australian rock band INXS, who died before his time. Despite his stardom, Hutchence revealed his true self to only a few. The film describes his journey from a fractured family background to the peaks of rock stardom and the years of living as a public object of desire. Then came the depths of depression. After an accident that occurred one night in Copenhagen the singer was never the same. He lost his sense of smell and taste, and his personality changed. He died at the age of 37. Director Richard Lowenstein, who now tells the frontman’s story, directed most of INXS’s music videos and cast Hutchence in the lead of his 1986 film Dogs in Space.
