FALCO arrives on DVD from Strand Releasing on April 19

FALCO arrives on DVD from Strand Releasing on April 19. The film is directed by Thomas Roth and stars Manuel Rubey, Nicolas Ofczarek, Christian Tramitz, Patricia Aulitzky, and Susi Stach. FALCO takes audiences on an inside look into the rise and fall of the pop icon. I am a huge fan of 80’s music and grew up listening to Falco, so this film sounds sounds pretty cool. Keep reading for all the details and to check out the trailer from Strand Releasing below.

Synopsis: 
The true story of 80’s pop star Falco is revealed in this lush and audacious film, chronicling his meteoric rise from child prodigy to overnight music sensation. After worldwide success from hits like “Rock Me Amadeus” and “Vienna Calling,” Falco tried to escape industry pressure by fleeing into a world of sex and drugs, bringing about his downfall. Featuring extraordinary recreations of the iconic music videos and an appearance by rock goddess Grace Jones, FALCO captures the period of musical and stylistic excess of the 80’s with verve and humanity.
