City of Lost Souls

Directed by Rosa von Praunheim1983West Germany91 mins

Transgender punk icon Jayne County stars alongside trans cabaret maven Angie Stardust in this rock musical extravaganza about a collective of pansexual American expats — including an erotic trapeze artist duo, an occultist spiritual therapist, and a nymphomaniac giving English lessons — living in Stardust's boarding house/restaurant called Burger Queen in Berlin.

With a healthy mixture of Hedwig and the Angry Inch, John Waters, and Rainer Werner Fassbinder, this fun, sexy, and delightfully deranged comic masterpiece takes us back to the glory days of queer life in Berlin circa 1983.
