Falco: Damn It, We're Still Alive!

About This Movie

So, 'Falco: Damn It, We're Still Alive!' is an interesting peek into the life of Johann 'Falco' Hölzel, a character who really embodied the music scene of his time. The film captures his journey from the quirky days in 'Drahdiwaberl' to his solo career, where he churned out some memorable tracks. The pacing feels reflective, almost like a melancholic stroll through his highs and lows. You get a sense of the atmosphere of 80s Vienna, and the performances, while perhaps not Oscar-worthy, have a raw honesty that resonates. It’s that blend of music and personal struggle that gives it a distinctive vibe, not to mention the practical effects that portray the period pretty well. Definitely worth a watch for anyone into music history or biographical films.
