Watch Searching for Sugar Man Movie Online Streaming Free in HDSearching for Sugar Man tells the incredible true story of Rodriguez, the greatest '70s rock icon who never was. Discovered in a Detroit bar in the late '60s by two celebrated producers struck by his soulful melodies and prophetic lyrics, they recorded an album which they believed would secure his reputation as the greatest recording artist of his generation. In fact, the album bombed and the singer disappeared into obscurity amid rumors of a gruesome on-stage suicide. But a bootleg recording found its way into apartheid South Africa and, over the next two decades, he became a phenomenon. The film follows the story of two South African fans who set out to find out what really happened to their hero. Their investigation leads them to a story more extraordinary than any of the existing myths about the artist known as Rodriguez. -- (C) Sony Pictures Classics.

Searching for Sugar Man Movie Synopsis | |
In the early 1970s, Sixto Rodriguez was a Detroit folksinger who had a short-lived recording career with only two well received but non-selling albums. Unknown to Rodriguez, his musical story continued in South Africa where he became a pop music icon and inspiration for generations. Long rumored there to be dead by suicide, a few fans in the 1990s decided to seek out the truth of their hero's fate. What follows is a bizarrely heartening story in which they found far more in their quest than they ever hoped, while a Detroit construction laborer discovered that his lost artistic dreams came true after all. | |

Review For Searching for Sugar Man | |
At 85 minutes, it's a tight, sharp achievement, yet one of the things I love about it is simple: It moves to a relaxed rhythm, in sync with its slightly otherworldly subject. Michael Phillips-Chicago Tribune This story has an uplifting arc that suggests this isn't the last we'll hear of this forgotten hero of pop. Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service The search for a long-lost pop icon has an unexpected payoff. John Anderson-Newsday [A] moving, lyrical account ... Ken Marks-New Yorker Director Malik Bendjelloul's engaging, cleverly structured documentary about the legendary folk singer Rodriguez is shaped like a mystery. Rene Rodriguez-Miami Herald If you like music, a good mystery or, better yet, a combination of both, you won't be disappointed. Bill Goodykoontz-Arizona Republic As a documentary, "Searching for Sugar Man" falls short, but as an enormously satisfying feel-good story it hits the mark. James Plath-Movie Metropolis You can still enjoy the film. I did, but it's nothing more than a fairy tale. Mark Aitken-Electric Sheep [Rodriguez] is a highly unusual and fascinating human being, and Searching for Sugar Man is a very interesting look at his life, his music, and the strange, fickle nature of fame. Ezra Stead-Bullz-Eye.com There's no arguing this is a remarkable story, and director Malik Bendjelloul tells it beautifully, creating a powerful sense of mystery and discovery even when we're tipped off to how the story ends. Mark Deming-TV Guide's Movie Guide 'Searching For Sugar Man' simply shouts out for celebration! Jennifer Merin-About.com "Searching for Sugar Man" is a valentine to every artist who feels like he toils away in obscurity, unsure of or unaware of the impact he might make on the world. Rob Thomas-Capital Times (Madison, WI) Fortunately filmmaker Bendjelloul decided that Rodriguez's story needed to be told - one of the most fascinating biographies ever put on film.
