Master of reinvention, Chilly Gonzalez has something of Andy Kaufman and Sacha Baron Cohen about him, but the rapper/pianist/performance artist/producer combines his tongue in cheek post modern lounge lizard act with genuine musical chops, and found his biggest success with the intimate and melodic Solo Piano album. Philipp Jedicke’s documentary begins with Chilly attempting to hypnotize the audience into hating him. Fortunately he’s not much of a hypnotist, and this career spanning review is always engaging and sometimes downright delirious.

There’s no shortage of video footage from his early Berlin days, when Gonzalez and Peaches were breaking boundaries and finding their feet. Leslie Feist recalls how they made Let It Ride together, a relationship that hit a snag when Gonzo wanted to cut "1,2,3,4" from the record. Daft Punk and Jarvis Cocker also pop up, along with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra and a rare spot of classical crowd surfing. Chances are you have never seen a music doc quite like this.

"As fast-moving and entertaining as the man himself… Life is a comedy-punk cabaret, old chum." Stephen Dalton, Hollywood Reporter

"The film itself is as eccentric and over-the-top and totally wild as Chilly himself, which makes it massively entertaining." Alex Billington, Firstshowing.net
