    This is perhaps the only documentary of Falco to be widely available in the United States. I feel that the writers and producers portrayal of this great man was true to his real life and showed how he really lived without any hesitation. This film is a must see for any true fan of FALCO. Be careful who you watch the film with; since many non-fans will not be able to fully appreciate his artistry.

    I LOVE FALCO! I usually don't enjoy rock biopics, except The Doors and The Rose. But this movie not only entertained me, but also educated me on his life. Only bad thing I'd say is that the lip-synching during muscical sequences are awful/laughable. BTW - his best albums were NACHTFLUG (nightflyer) 1992 and DATADEGROOVE1991, listen to them IF you can find them...

    It was interesting. I had no idea he was so big in Europe.
