Deftly woven from an extraordinary archive of rich imagery, including Michael’s personal home movies and footage shared by his lovers, friends, and family, Mystify: Michael Hutchence explores the depths beneath the polished image of the charismatic 'Rock God.' The documentary offers an intimate portrait of a man who was as vulnerable and introspective as he was bold and seductive. We are transported beyond the stage persona, witnessing a deeply sensitive soul navigating the highs and lows of fame, love, and personal struggles. For an all-too-brief moment, we revel in Michael’s Dionysian beauty, sensuality, and magnetic presence, while also uncovering the complexities of a life touched by creative brilliance, tragedy, and longing.
