🎬 Title: Der Echte Freddie Mercury – Die Münchner Jahre
Story: To commemorate the 30th anniversary of Freddie Mercury’s passing, NITRO presents a fascinating documentary focused on a lesser-known chapter of his life: his time in Munich from 1979 to 1985. Directed by Rudi Dolezal, who was a close filmmaker friend of Mercury, the film explores this unique period through interviews with witnesses and showcases rare footage of Mercury and Queen during their Munich years. The documentary features many authentic locations around Munich, including Freddie’s apartments, favorite hangouts, popular gay clubs, leather bars, film studios, editing rooms, and hotels. Notably, Peter “Phoebe” Freestone, Mercury’s longtime personal assistant, serves as an exclusive “Munich guide,” sharing personal insights from his experiences living with Mercury in the city.
