Music & Movies: The Connection
Summer Screenings 2019One of the most anticipated films of the year, Bohemian Rhapsody is a foot-stomping celebration of Queen, their music, and lead singer Freddie Mercury, all in the beautiful gardens of The Gonville Hotel. This is not to be missed. Freddie defied stereotypes and shattered convention to become one of the most beloved entertainers on the planet. The film traces the meteoric rise of the band through their iconic songs and revolutionary sound. They reach unparalleled success, but in an unexpected turn Freddie, surrounded by darker influences, shuns Queen in pursuit of his solo career. Having suffered greatly without the collaboration of Queen, Freddie manages to reunite with his bandmates just in time for Live Aid. While bravely facing a recent AIDS diagnosis, Freddie leads the band in one of the greatest performances in the history of rock music. Queen cements a legacy that continues to inspire outsiders, dreamers and music lovers to this day. “Frankly, if you are not cheering along with the crowd as Mercury belts out an ultra-satisfying rendition of “We are the Champions,” then a doctor should check your pulse.” We will be joined by Cambridge’s amazing local musicians, who will be getting you into the mood before the screening starts.
