In the 1980s and ‘90s, Michael Hutchence was flying high and topping the charts as the lead singer of the hugely successful 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 unique brand of exuberant vocals and charismatic sex appeal onto the stage until his untimely death at the age of 37.
Director
Richard Lowenstein was born in Melbourne, Australia, in 1959. After graduating with a degree in film and television from the Swinburne Institute of Technology, he directed numerous music videos, including 16 for INXS. His first feature film, STRIKEBOUND (1984), told the story of striking mineworkers in 1930s Australia. Most recently he has been directing documentary films, such as ECCO HOMO (2015) about artist Peter Vanessa "Troy" Davies.
