Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror
From London fringe theater play to the biggest cult film of all time, this is the definitive story of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, first released 50 years ago on September 26, 1975. With intimate access to its creator Richard O’Brien and other major players such as Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon and Lou Adler, the documentary explores what makes it so singular: its groundbreaking and transgressive themes, iconic performances and epic songs. The cult phenomenon created not only the midnight screenings but also a safe haven for those who ever felt different or marginalized. (dir. Linus O’Brien, UK, 2025, 90 min.)
“Like the show its profiles, it hums with an energetic and vivacious hunger and gratitude for life.” — RogerEbert.com
