Thriller 40 (2023)
Regisseur Nelson George nimmt uns in seinem Dokumentarfilm mit auf eine faszinierende Reise in die Vergangenheit, 40 Jahre zurück, in die Entstehungszeit von Michael Jacksons bahnbrechendem Album „Thriller“ – dem bis heute meistverkauften Album aller Zeiten. Es machte Michael Jackson zum Superstar und prägte viele Bereiche der Kultur- und Unterhaltungsbranche, von der Musik über den Tanz und die Mode. George beleuchtet in seinem Film die Entstehung des Rekordalbums und der dazugehörigen Filmclips, die das Musikvideo-Genre grundlegend veränderten und kann dazu mit nie zuvor gesehenem Filmmaterial und exklusiven Interviews mit einigen der größten Namen aus der Musik- und Entertainmentwelt aufwarten, darunter Usher, Mary J. Blige, Will.I.Am, Mark Ronson, Misty Copeland und Maxwell.
