Mayor of the Sunset Strip
Overview
A look at the history of fame in the world through the eyes of pop star impresario, Rodney Bingenheimer
Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Captures Bingenheimer in all his celeb-fondling glory. But it's a forlorn sight, one the film doesn't turn away from as it arcs from giddy inclusion to lonely pathos.
Creepily entertaining.
Feels like an elegy for an aging rock pixie.
At first a wryly comic study of a real-life, shag-topped Zelig ... Hickenlooper's nuanced documentary shifts into far deeper and darker emotional territory once it starts revealing Bingenheimer's heart-wrenching backstory.
