    I’ve chatted to you before about this film. It’s a documentary made in South Africa and I personally believe it could win an Oscar. It went mental at Sundance and tells the tale of Roriguez, the American singer who “was bigger than Elvis in SA,” but didn’t shift more than a handful of albums in the States. Everyone thought he had killed himself on stage (this was before the internet, so no-one realised he was actually alive.) My buddy ‘Sugar’ from Mabu vinyl gave me a screening – he has a copy because he’s involved in it – you’ll see he narrates most of the thing. It’s so Goddamn good. Watch the trailer and you might get a tear in your eye.

    It launches in SA on 24 August – at Ster-Kinekor.

      “Was bigger than Elvis in SA” ? Ja about that.. “so know one realised”, “and I you might” ? Super sloppy post, a little bit of effort would have done it wonders.

      Wow, unbelievable memories! Cannot wait for the movie. Thanks for the post.

    • JohnnyT

      I saw it yesterday. Most certainly the best cinematic experience I’ve ever had. A brilliant documentary, an incredibly fascinating story and really so awesome to see this!!

    • RobbieP

      I’m with JohnnyT on where Tim needs to get.

      JA Tim, get fucked

      “bigger than elvis in SA”. You talk out your arse.
      Yeah, looks like a decent doccie. Fair enough. I saw him live in SA. It was a shit show.

      This documentary made it look better than the real thing, his show in SA was utter bull! Don’t forget Computicket had to refund the crowd cause the sound was so bad and rodriquez was slurring his words, cause he was so poepdronk. Same as his second show which I was at and had a rof experience and demanded my hard earned money back. So it’s a well marketed nice doccie story. Unfortunate the real talent did not live up to the real thing like “Elvis”, ya right!
