Release Date: July 5th 2012
The life, career and music of singer Katy Perry as we follow her on the California Dreams tour.
Directors: Dan Cutforth, Jane Lipsitz
Starring: Katy Perry
A documentary such as Katy Perry: Part of Me will always be made for the fans. Anyone who isn't a fan (like me) will at first not find this interesting but may warm to Katy and what she experiences as the film progresses. A documentary that focuses on someone famous will always sit in the middle for me because it will only ever be insightful to the fans.
POM follows Katy Perry on her 2011 world tour. It includes not just her career but her personal life as well. Amongst this is live footage of various shows. Behind the fairytale, colourful stage and whacky wardrobe is a human being that feels like we do.
There's a couple of intriguing moments to point out, the first being what Perry had to go through in order to reach where she is today. All the record labels she worked with wanted to mould her into someone she didn't want to be, like 'the next Alanis Morissette' or 'the next Avril Lavigne'. The second is an unexpected event that will leave you feeling sorry for her. If anything the abrupt change in this documentaries' pace makes it a worthwhile watch.
Overview: This could have been a lot worse to watch, but for me it's Russell Brand's unpredictability that sparks some alluring drama, but may come to late for others.
