Searching for sugarman

[Robbiejd]

I was reading the last film you saw thread and noticed someone mentioned a film called searching for sugarman .
I decided to give it a try even though I knew nothing about this film or its content.
I have to say it is one of the best films I have ever watched!!

weird....just watched the film and then seen this thread.....great doc film and story.....well worth watching, just for the fact these things happen in life.

Not surprised it won an Oscar

Great movie but first of all great story!
Those sold-out concert he played in South Africa after all these years... shocking, but in a positive way. But also this sad sad thought in the background about forgetting such talent and personality, while some absolutely talentless "stars" made careers in showbiz and flourished around the world...

some good stuff here about him.....review and background from people who put film into context.....
