MFF – L’Odyssee Musicale de Kate Bush

A film about the work of Kate Bush, a unique artist with the most extraordinary comeback ever: from 1980s pop icon to global hit sensation through the TV series Stranger Things.

At the Music Film Festival, the French documentary L’Odyssée Musicale de Kate Bush explores the life and work of the British singer-songwriter.

From the pop generation of the 1980s to millions of Stranger Things viewers: Kate Bush connects generations like no other artist. When her iconic hit Running Up That Hill (see clip below) made a spectacular comeback in 2022, a new generation discovered the magic of one of the most innovative and distinctive artists in pop music history.

From the very beginning, she stood out with her unique voice, expressive dancing, and highly original songwriting. Rather than simple “I love you” lyrics, her songs drew inspiration from literature and her own poetry. Combined with her groundbreaking choreography, daring artistic vision, and uncompromising independence, Kate Bush became an inspiration for countless artists, from Björk to Dua Lipa.

For those who grew up with Wuthering Heights, Cloudbusting, and Running Up That Hill, L’Odyssée Musicale de Kate Bush is a joyful journey of recognition and nostalgia. For younger audiences, it is the perfect introduction to the mysterious British artist behind one of the greatest musical phenomena of this century.
