Kylie Minogue anchors a three-part Netflix documentary with the idea that life makes sense onstage. The film traces a four-decade career through home footage, personal photos, and new interviews with Minogue, family, former colleagues, lovers, and friends including Nick Cave. It covers her rise from teen soap actor to global pop superstar, her early training to perform under intense misogynistic scrutiny, and her growth into both a confident public figure and a private survivor. Her breast cancer experience and the pressures of show business are presented alongside her achievements, including 17 albums, 80 million records sold, and major awards. The project is described as taking years of encouragement before she agreed to participate.
"“Life makes sense to me onstage.” Considering how she's made 17 albums, sold 80 million records worldwide, her songs have been streamed over 5 billion times, and how she's Australia's bestselling female artist of all time, with shelves full of accolades like 18 ARIA Awards and two Grammys, one can easily understand her POV."
"Directed by Emmy-winning editor Michael Harte (“Three Identical Strangers,” “Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie,” “Beckham”), we're given a glimpse into Minogue's life through a narrative composed of home movie footage, personal photos and new interviews with her, family, former colleagues, lovers and dear friends like musician Nick Cave, who affectionately refers to her as “this force” in the “joy machine” of pop music."
"Minogue, 57, learned how to smile for the camera on cue despite intense - and often cruel and misogynistic - scrutiny of her every move at a very early age. As she grows and evolves, we witness the evolution of a publicly confident, sparkly superstar and a warm, private, resilient survivor of breast cancer and the fickle middle finger of showbiz who doesn't take herself too seriously."
"“It took a number of years for me to say yes to him,” she says, Zooming into our chat from the UK. “I'd just go, either there's too much going on, or I don't feel ready. But at a certain point I thought, if not now, when?”"
