Punk rapper and performance artist — and a composer of classical pieces and headliner with the Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra — Grammy-winning Canadian musician and professional chameleon Chilly “Gonzo” Gonzales (born Jason Beck in Montreal) is the subject of Philipp Jedicke's kaleidoscopic portrait and career survey. Jedicke’s DIY aesthetic uses archival footage, interviews, reenactments, and staged scenes, all of which mesh perfectly with Gonzales’s brash and hyperenergetic public persona — the man is always performing — to hugely entertaining effect. It all makes for a revelatory journey taking us from Gonzales’s posh beginnings as the anxious son of a powerful Montreal businessman to his legendary sojourn with Peaches in the Berlin underground scene, and then to Paris and Cologne, where his evolution as an artist comes to the fore. Rife with outrageous — and occasionally beautiful and moving — performance footage, the film also features insightful interviews with friends and colleagues, including Peaches, Feist, and Jarvis Cocker.
