Love to Love You, Donna Summer

The extraordinary story of disco queen Donna Summer through a rich archive of unpublished film excerpts, home video, photographs, artwork, writings, personal audio and other recordings that span the life of one of the most iconic performers ever to shake a room to its timbers. From her early career with Giorgio Moroder in Germany, to later years more focused on spirituality and family life as a shelter from troubles associated with both notoriety and intimate wounds, her story is all the more special for being told in the first person – both singular and plural.
Great artist. Some awesome footage and style. But the complete lack of narrative and sequence ruined this documentary. It’s not clear in what order everything happens, how her career develops and who on earth are all the boyfriends/husbands, relatives. For those who not familiar with Donna’s biography this piece of documentary won’t help getting to know her story. It will make you frustrated as theres absolute no sense in the sequence of events. This does not diminish the awesome music she made. Just a poorly narrated documentary.
