The cult phenomenon of Rocky Horror is explored in depth like never before with an extraordinary cast of contributors. From humble origins as a London fringe theater play to its meteoric rise as the biggest cult film of all time, this is the definitive story of the Rocky Horror Show. With intimate access to its creator Richard O’Brien and other major players such as Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, and Lou Adler, the documentary explores what makes the play and film so singular: its groundbreaking and transgressive themes, iconic performances and epic songs that took over popular culture.

The Garden Cinema View:

You may well know the major stops on this journey, but it’s nevertheless a pleasure and a comfort to have the trajectory of this cult classic laid out in the words of the main players. There’s some quite touching father-son moments between a sprightly Richard O’Brien and director Linus O’Brien, and it’s equally delightful to see a happy and healthy Tim Curry. A perfect appetiser for your next visit to The Rocky Horror Picture Show. And if you’ve never seen it? What are you waiting for?
