In this feature length docu-concert film, Duran Duran celebrate their four decade long career, the release of their latest studio album FUTURE PAST, and the launch of a global world tour. An extraordinary night of music, shot on a Los Angeles rooftop, with the iconic Capitol Tower behind them and the Hollywood sign in the distance, the film was directed by three award-winning industry veterans -- Gavin Elder, Vincent Adam Paul and George Scott. A Hollywood High reminds us of Duran Duran's prolific and diverse song writing, and captures their boundless live energy. The film also brings to life the band's deep and lasting relationship with Los Angeles, through exclusive new interviews, behind-the-scenes video and unseen archival footage, charting the band's rise to become one of the most influential and successful groups of all time. It's a celebration from beginning to end that will have everyone on their feet dancing!

Duran Duran: A Hollywood High takes what is essentially an industry showcase and turns it into a Generation X milestone.

Culture Mix

The concert documentary Duran Duran: A Hollywood High is an admirable showcase of a still-vibrant Duran Duran performing songs from the 1980s to the 2020s. This 75-minute documentary is good but not outstanding or comprehensive.

Duranie fan

I am a huge Duran Duran fan and have even traveled to see them across the USA. I gave this a 4 star as opposed to 5 because I wish it was a little longer. I saw them in concert this past summer so it was nice watching this movie and reminiscing about the concert

I thought it was going to be more of a documentary. Also, would have liked more old songs performed. It was entertaining and I was surprised how good they all are after all of these years!

I liked the movie, my partner did not. There might have been some misunderstanding of what this movie is. It is a short documentary followed by a short concert. If you wanted a substantial documentary or a true full length Duran Duran concert you were not getting either one. But I found it entertaining. Simon Le Bon sounds terrific!

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
