For fans of The Cockettes and 1970s San Francisco queer commune extravagants, Angels of Light, it's time to get excited! This fabulous film about Kiwi artist, Warwick Broadhead, is both a documentary and a performance lusciously told. It is the only time that this renowned queer performance artist has ever let anyone film his work. A beautifully moving and exhilarating experience telling as much about privacy, film and performance as Warwick's life from upbringing to Angels of Light celebration and eventual deportation home to New Zealand where a little bit of The Cockettes remain alive in his constant good-humoured creativity.
Effervescent, gorgeous, spirited, wondrous, honest and bold - a flamboyant experience.
"Unabashedly outrageous and often very moving portrayal of a theatrical maestro." New Zealand Herald review
Official Selection, Inside Out LGBT Film Festival, Toronto, 2009
