En 1971, cuatro estudiantes universitarios se unieron para formar una banda de rock. Desde entonces, esa cierta banda llamada Queen ha lanzado 26 álbumes y vendido más de 300 millones de discos en todo el mundo. La popularidad de Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor y John Deacon es más fuerte que nunca 40 años después. Pero no era un lecho de rosas. Sin crucero de placer. Queen tuvo su parte de patadas en la cara, pero lo lograron y así es como lo hicieron, en el contexto de una música brillante e impresionantes actuaciones en vivo de todos los rincones del mundo. En esta película, por primera vez, es la banda la que cuenta su historia. Con entrevistas completamente nuevas con la banda y material de archivo invisible (incluida su primera actuación televisiva recientemente descubierta), es una historia convincente contada con inteligencia, ingenio, mucho humor y dolorosa honestidad.

El plan para matarlo, planeado en Inglaterra y llevado a término en mayo de 1942 en Praga, es el tema de una película galardonada que presenta una reconstrucción meticulosa de estos dramáticos eventos, junto con una película de archivo nunca antes vista.

Robert Johnson was one of the most legendary and mysterious Delta Bluesmiths of all time. Little is known about his life, but his music has influenced many different artists, like Eric Clapton and Keith Richards. Now, John Hammond Jr., son of legendary record producer John H. Hammond, who also organized a concert for Robert Johnson right before he died, goes to the Deep South to learn more about this amazing man, trying to find information about Johnson's birth date, place and parents, his early musical development, performances and travels, romances, his mythic "pact with the devil," his untimely murder in his late twenties, the discovery of possible offspring, and the uncertainty over where Johnson is buried. Throughout, Johnson's music is both foreground and background, from recordings of Johnson and as performed on camera by Hammond, David Honeyboy Edwards, and Johnny Shines.

Though very polite and British, this feature-length documentary about German filmmaker Wim Wenders offers the most penetrating insights and the best overall critique of his work that I have encountered anywhere. Paul Joyce, who directed it, has also made documentaries about Nicolas Roeg, David Cronenberg, Nagisa Oshima, and Dennis Hopper, and he knows the conventional format well enough to get the most out of it. There are good clips and interesting commentaries from the interviewed subjects, who include Wenders himself, cinematographer Robby Muller, filmmaker Sam Fuller, novelist Patricia Highsmith, musician Ry Cooder, actors Harry Dean Stanton, Peter Falk, and Hanns Zischler, and critic Kraft Wetzel, who is especially provocative. A must-see for Wenders fans, highly recommended for everyone else. –Jonathan Rosenbaum, 1989

The story of Josephine Baker takes us on a fascinating tour of 20th-century race relations on both sides of the Atlantic, yet it leads to no conclusion, and black girls in search of a role-model tend to look elsewhere. Part of her appeal is her startlingly unique appearance. Simply nobody has ever looked or acted like her. She fits no black stereotype. Nor does she look like any recognizable strain of Afro-American. I'd always heard she was half-white, but it seems that her paternity is unknown, and her contradictory claims on the subject don't do much to enlighten us. (We are tempted to imagine quite an exotic mix.) Her origins in sharply-segregated St. Louis, where she is said to have witnessed a lynching, do not seem to have left her embittered. Perhaps she had too much to give. There is a special innocence about that smile, and when she performs her cross-eyed gag, we are lifted into a strange pixie-world, all its own.
