Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror

15

From humble and bizarre beginnings as a London fringe theatre play in 1973 to its meteoric rise as the biggest cult film of all time, this is the definitive story of the Rocky Horror (Picture) Show. The stage show has been seen by more than 35 million theatregoers in 30 countries worldwide and its movie incarnation, The Rocky Horror Picture Show is the the longest-running theatrical release in film history.

With a legacy that lives on through constant screenings and devoted fans, it's a celebratory deep-dive into the power of queer joy, theatrical and cinematic rebellion, with intimate access to Richard and other major players such as Tim Curry, director Jim Sharman and producer Lou Adler. In the year that The Rocky Horror Picture Show turns fifty, son of the show's creator, Linus O’Brien’s film is timely, heart-warming and deeply personal.
