Quotes Rodriguez : Thanks for keeping me alive! User reviews Review. Top review. If you are a musician or songwriter and you have ever questioned the importance of what it is that you do, you need to see this film. This was the most inspiring thing I have ever seen.

The only drawback is that because it is an indie film, it is very hard to find. It is only playing in one theater in my area DC , and that's West End. I really hope this films picks up and begins showing in more theaters. Until then, I will continue to promote this film via word of mouth because I believe in it so much. Amazing things happen.

That really is him. For the majority of the scenes in which Rodriguez appears, he is wearing sunglasses, pictured wearing black and often absorbing himself in the shadows. It was done in the style of Citizen Kane ; the way you go around and try to find clues and truth about someone.

First-time Swedish filmmaker Malik Bendjelloul first heard about Rodriguez while traveling through Africa. He originally planned on creating a short film for Swedish television, but the project slowly grew into a feature film. He decided to tell the story from the perspective of the South African fans. It told the story of a journalist who is trying to tell a story about a rich guy. That was the thing that hooked me in the beginning, that this story would be different.

There was only one problem: Rodriguez was very reluctant to appear in the movie. I think he only changed his mind because he felt kind of sorry for us. Rodriguez suffers from glaucoma, and it has dramatically limited his vision. I can still get around, but I take things slowly. He has backing bands all over the world.
