Lindenberg! Mach dein Ding

Like reviewer "batoja" I agree that the 2020 German production "Lindenberg! Mach dein Ding" is surprisingly good! I did't know much about singer Udo Lindenberg and this biopic showed his interesting past that was totally new to me. This film is about him becoming the German Star everybody knows today. So it must have been even harder for actor Jan Bülow to play this role convincingly since everybody will compare his appearance with the actual person. I think he did a great job embodying this character.

Jan Bülow plays drums and sings himself. He must have trained for this role for a long time. Like other biopics of Superstars like Ray Charles ("Ray") or Miles Davis ("Miles Ahead"), this productions doesn't shy away from darker sides of the personality in question and here they also show you the struggle of a young and hungry for life musician.

The songs have been re-recorded and we see a lot of performances. If you are into music and music business this is for you. If you just want to enjoy another story of the rise of a musician, then you will get a glimpse of what it takes.

Additional great cast: Ruby O. Fee, Ella Rumpf and Detlev Buck.
