“Meat Loaf: In Search of Paradiseâ€
If you think you know him, think again…
Actor, performer, and multi-platinum rock icon Meat Loaf reveals surprising shades of himself - and a fertile creative mind in constant flux - in this intimate and highly-entertaining theatrical feature documentary that was celebrated as an official selection of the 2007 Montreal World Film Festival. The time is early 2007, one of the most stressful in Meat Loaf’s career, when he is about to launch his most ambitious tour ever: an 18 month long marathon to support Bat Out of Hell III , the final album of the legendary “Bat Out of Hell†trilogy. His exhausting, and often poignant, journey takes him from Burbank, California through the first leg of his tour through Canada. Along the way, an unexpected media controversy erupts over the staging of one of his songs - a controversy that raises questions about his art and its ability to mature and transcend as it traverses multiple generations - bringing into focus the drive (and demons) that have fueled his over-the-top stage persona for almost 40 years.
