Synopsis:
Tells the story of the rise and fall of Michael Alig, a kid from Middle America who aspired to take the place of Andy Warhol. Michael quickly rose to become the biggest party promoter in New York and King of the so-called Club Kids. But after spiraling into drug addiction, Michael brutally murdered his roommate Angel Melendez.
Quick Thoughts:
If you’ve seen “Party Monster”, then this documentary that explores even more about Michael Alig, the Club Kids, and the murder of Angel is a MUST see! Using interviews from those directly involved such as Gitsie, James St. James, and even Michael himself, the story of Michael’s rise to fame along with the club kids is told in a way that keeps you enthralled. The only thing I wasn’t too keen on was the excessive use of text screens rather than a naration, but it was more an irk than something that distracted. If you’re looking to know even more about Michael Alig and the Club Kids, this queer documentary will answer your questions!
