Stardust

England, early 1960s: The band Stray Cats and their lead singer Jim become superstars. They experience all the downsides that sudden fame brings with it. True to the motto ‘Show me a boy who never wanted to become a rock star and I'll show you a liar’, director Apted depicts the exploitation of artists by ruthless managers. A compelling drama about the commercial madness of the entertainment industry.
