Searching for Sugar Man (2012)


Two South Africans set out to discover what happened to their unlikely musical hero, the mysterious 1970s singer-songwriter, Rodriguez.

Fascinating documentary of something of a miracle, although some facts were omitted; in any case, Rodriguez wins by character and his wonderful songs.

Maltin***: "Compelling documentary...A so-incredible-it-must-be-true story doesn't provide as many answers about Rodriguez as one would like, but it's irresistable, with plenty of his songs and clever use of animation. It all leads to a satisfying and uplifting conclusion."
