Synopsis

An electrifying glimpse into the complex life and thrilling,unparalleled performances of rock & roll’s first and wildest practitioner: Jerry Lee Lewis.

Program Note

Jerry Lee Lewis doesn’t just play the piano; he hammers it with the force of someone about to break it. He uses his entire body—feet, elbows, even his hips—to pound the keys, and even when he sets the piano on fire, his performance is flawless. When it comes to the wild image of rock and roll combined with the piano, Jerry Lee Lewis is the first name that comes to mind. While his rough stage presence and dramatic life are well-known, this film focuses on the awe-inspiring performances from his prime. The energy that filled the stage and the audience transcends the screen. (Kim Yoonha)
