(Malik Bendjelloul / 2012 / Sweden/UK / 86 minutes / certificate 12A)
Director Malik Bendjelloul has created a triumphant, visually stunning documentary in Searching for Sugar Man, which unveils the story behind the fate of enigmatic 1970s US folk musician, Rodriguez. Largely unappreciated by his home country and dropped by his record label, dramatic rumours circulated of an untimely demise on stage, including tales of Rodriguez dousing himself with petrol before igniting a flame. Decades later, two South African fans set out to discover the truth behind the rumours and are astonished by what their difficult and dedicated search reveals.
If you entered the cinema having never heard of Rodriguez, you’ll leave it uplifted with a feeling of warmth and an urgency to get online to purchase his criminally overlooked back catalogue.
