An engrossing portrait of a true English original. The Blue Black Hussar is Jack Bond's ride through the world of Adam Ant. The iconic pop star, who was perhaps the biggest music star on the planet during his halcyon days on the 1980s, disappeared completely from public life when he suffered a recurrence of depression that has inflicted him since he was a young man. Sectioned and forcibly sedated, few would have anticipated his return from this particularly tortuous exile. Featuring the likes of Charlotte Rampling, Mark Ronson, Allen Jones and Jamie Reynolds (The Klaxons), this is a film exploring the way back for a unique British hero, one still chanelling his "Highwayman/Prince Charming" persona and who has against all the odds, got himself back to playing to huge audiences once again, unapologetically and without compromise" Andrew Simpson
