CHICAGO 10 [2007]


In the ‘80s and ‘90s, Michael Hutchence was flying high as the lead singer of legendary Australian rock band INXS. There was, however, a darkness that always hovered behind the spotlight. Hutchence, a man who saw rock and roll as “liberation,” was a natural performer who channeled his uniquely exuberant vocals and charismatic sex appeal onto the stage until his untimely death at age 37. Through a treasure trove of rare archival footage and insights from lovers, friends, and family, this film delves deep into the singer’s complicated upbringing, his rise to fame, his passionate affairs, his growing drug problem, a traumatic brain injury that changed the course of his life, and his never-ending struggle to make peace with himself.
