Plaion Little Richard - I Am Everything

"Tutti Frutti", "Lucille", "Good Golly", "Miss Molly" - with his explosive music, energetic performances and shrill stage outfits, Richard Wayne Penniman, alias Little Richard, laid the foundations for rock 'n' roll. In addition to Elvis, the King of Rock 'n' Roll, he influenced the Beatles, Prince and Elton John, among many others. This captivating documentary film tells the exciting life story of a bird of paradise who had to struggle with many contradictions throughout his life and was not least a pioneer of the queer scene.

Little Richard hits the keys like crazy, performs artistic interludes on the piano and screams his heart out - Lisa Cortés' film impressively shows how the gifted self-promoter has managed to captivate his audience since the Fifties. Interviews with companions and stars such as Mick Jagger, Paul McCartney and Nile Rodgers paint a picture of a dazzling personality. Little Richard was simply everything.
