About Milli Vanilli: From Fame to Shame
The crazy story of two fancy boys, a French and a German, models and dancers, who won a Grammy award in 1990 just by moving their lips: the rise and fall of the Milli Vanilli duo. Playback singers, lies and video clips.
Directed by Oliver Schwehm, Milli Vanilli: From Fame to Shame leans on a strong ensemble — Fab Morvan, Rob Pilatus, Frank Farian — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2016.
