La fusion rock n'roll du "Mythe de Faust", du "Portrait de Dorian Gray" et du "Fantôme de l'opéra". Sous la houlette d'un Brian de Palma en pleine possession de ses moyens. Éblouissant !!!
Synopsis
Singer-songwriter Winslow Leach seeks revenge on the nefarious music producer Swan, who steals both Winslow's music and his favorite singer for the grand opening of Swan's new rock palace, the Paradise.
