50 ans après sa sortie en salles, The Rocky Horror Picture Show reste le plus grand film culte de tous les temps – et ce documentaire raconte enfin comment tout ça a commencé.

Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror retrace le parcours improbable d'une pièce de théâtre de quartier londonienne devenue phénomène mondial : sa création par Richard O'Brien, son naufrage en salles à l'automne 1975, puis sa résurrection inattendue à travers les séances de minuit qui ont changé la façon dont on va au cinéma.

Réalisé par Linus O'Brien – fils du créateur –, le documentaire réunit Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, Barry Bostwick, Nell Campbell, Patricia Quinn, Jack Black et Trixie Mattel pour un regard aussi intime qu'électrique sur cinquante ans de liberté, d'excès et de communauté.

Sortie française à confirmer.

00:00Sous-titrage Société Radio-Canada
00:30We opened and it was a phenomenal success.
00:33We created immersive theatre.
00:35People were rushing to get in and see it.
00:38This was something alive.
00:41We were allowed to make a movie.
00:43We just worked our asses off.
00:46There was something about not having money.
00:48It added to the edginess of it.
00:52And then the movie flopped.
00:54It just didn't make any sense.
00:55Tim Deegan suggested, why don't we run the film at midnight?
01:01I said, how's it doing?
01:02He said, what's interesting?
01:04It's the same 50 people every week.
01:09We want Rocky!
01:11We want Rocky!
01:15This crowd is lining up for a film about transvestites.
01:19Every theatre where it plays becomes something like a nightclub.
01:22There was energy in the air.
01:23It was a trip.
01:24People were throwing rice.
01:26And it was like we were in a wedding party.
01:29It was spreading to the other theatres and other cities.
01:34It's steamrolling.
01:35Rocky allowed you that freedom to live out your dreams.
01:39This was like a pop-up book of rock and roll and sex and drugs and the power of that.
01:45I think the movie is about saying yes to life and to everything.
01:49It has to be considered the major cult movie of all time.
01:53It's not a movie.
01:53It's a way of life.
