Hedwig and the Angry Inch

Because I'm technologically illiterate and can't learn how to embed a video clip, go here to see Hedwig sing Aristophanes' speech from Plato's Symposium:

And not that it needs saying, but John Cameron Mitchell, that man is total happy genius on a sunbeam. If only I'd seen the off-Broadway version of this movie performed entirely by rabbits and strawberries, I could be constellated in the stars like Belinda's blinking hair.

If you want a more substantive summary of the plot, do your own work. Until then:

"I had just been dismissed from university after delivering a brilliant lecture on the aggressive influence of German philosophy on rock and roll, entitled, 'You, Kant, always get what you want.'"

Good! Good! Good! This movie is good!
