Disco was hot and happening during my childhood. Donna Summer was one of those terrific Disco voices that filled the airwaves of the seventies and hearing her sing again in 2023 I must admit her voice is still so powerful and timeless.
The good: WHAT a VOICE. Back to the seventies. And although I was never a real Disco music fan I did like Donna Summer's hit songs! Who didnt like Donna Summer back in those days?
Although not being a fan of Donna Summer or Disco music I still found this documentary to be a fascinating watch.
After the first part of this movie covers her rise to fame, the second part covers her struggle with fame.
Any bad? I personally do not care to get to know the details about the personal lives of popstars, I just wanna listen to their music, but as far as a personal portrait goes, this is a rather intimate and balanced portrait, although also a rather melancholy one.
Recommended watch for the fans of Disco and for the fans of the seventies music scene!
At an endnote: I suddenly realized that one groove out of a Donna Summer song was almost exactly copied by "Underworld" in one of their hits. Donna Summer together with Giorgio Moroder as THE origin of house/dance music of the nineties?
