Michael Hutchence - The Loved One

Aroview: Heartfelt music doco tracking the life and career of INXS' charismatic former front man Michael Hutchence whose suspected suicide robbed a nation of one of its greatest musical talents.

True to its title, the film explores the iconic Hutchence in a celebratory way, with very little examination into the addictions and destructive relationships that lead to his downfall. Instead, we’re given some arresting interviews from those who loved him most, and an expansive exploration into his history and childhood. Puzzlingly, there’s very little performance footage or interviews given from former band-members INXS, leaving some rather significant gaps.
